2When atoms in a pure element are [blank_start]excited[blank_end] (given lots of energy) they give off light at fixed and [blank_start]characteristic[blank_end] frequencies. These frequencies directly relate to the colour - from low frequency [blank_start]infrared[blank_end], through the visible spectrum, and up to high frequency [blank_start]ultraviolet[blank_end].
These emission line spectra are like a chemical [blank_start]fingerprint[blank_end] for that element. They are caused by the movement of electrons between energy [blank_start]levels[blank_end] in the atoms. Hydrogen has the [blank_start]simplest[blank_end] emission spectrum.
A [blank_start]star[blank_end] will give off energy at a range of [blank_start]frequencies[blank_end], but there will be some gaps in it. The gaps in the spectrum from the Sun correspond exactly to the lines in the emission [blank_start]spectrum[blank_end] for hydrogen. This means that there is hydrogen present in the Sun, which is [blank_start]absorbing[blank_end] light of specific frequencies.- Aexcited

3There are several energy level transitions that are possible within one type of atom - so an element absorbs and emits energy at a range of characteristic frequencies.

4Boyle's Law states that [blank_start]pressure[blank_end] is inversely proportional to volume. The pressure of a gas is caused by the [blank_start]particles[blank_end] colliding with the sides of the container, exerting a [blank_start]force[blank_end] per unit of area. The pressure depends on the [blank_start]frequency[blank_end] of collisions and the force of the particles’ momentum (which is [blank_start]constant[blank_end] as the gas is kept at a constant temperature). If the volume of the container [blank_start]halves[blank_end], there is half the amount of space for particles to move around in, making [blank_start]collisions[blank_end] more likely. As the number of collisions [blank_start]increases[blank_end], so does the pressure.

5The Pressure Law states that...
- A...at a fixed temperature the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas.
- B...if the temperature of a gas with a constant volume is measured on the kelvin scale, we find that the pressure is proportional to the temperature.
- C...for a fixed mass of gas at a constant pressure, its volume is proportional to its pressure.
6What is absolute zero?
- AThe lowest point on Earth.
- BThe coldest temperature possible, when all particles in any substance stop moving completely.
- CThe lowest pressure a substance can exert.
7How many Kelvin would water boil at?
- A373K
- B100K
- C-173K
8Charles' Law is defined as which of the following?
- AThat for a fixed mass of gas at a constant pressure, its volume is proportional to the temperature.
- BThat when the number of particles in a gas is increased, it becomes less volatile.
- CThat the volume of a gas would always decrease when its temperature is increased.
9A star begins its life as a [blank_start]cloud[blank_end] of gas, which is mostly [blank_start]hydrogen[blank_end] and helium. The particles experience a very weak attraction towards each other due to [blank_start]gravity[blank_end].
As the gas cloud becomes [blank_start]denser[blank_end], the effect of gravity is to increase the [blank_start]pressure[blank_end] and temperature. As more gas is drawn in by the increasing gravity, the mass of the cloud [blank_start]increases[blank_end] and therefore so does its gravity.
The increasing gravity [blank_start]compresses[blank_end] the gas further so that it becomes hotter and denser. It eventually becomes a [blank_start]proto[blank_end]star.
When the temperature and pressure become high enough, the hydrogen nuclei [blank_start]fuse[blank_end] into helium nuclei, releasing large amounts of [blank_start]energy[blank_end]. The star is now a stable [blank_start]main sequence[blank_end] star.- Acloud

10Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.

11Nuclear fusion: the process of two nuclei binding together to make a new [blank_start]element[blank_end] and releasing [blank_start]energy[blank_end].
Stage 1: Protium (Hydrogen-[blank_start]1[blank_end]) + Protium --> Deuterium (Hydrogen-[blank_start]2[blank_end]) + positron + ENERGY
Stage 2: [blank_start]Protium[blank_end] + Deuterium --> Tritium (Hydrogen-[blank_start]3[blank_end]) + ENERGY
Stage 3: Tritium + Tritium --> [blank_start]Helium[blank_end] + Protium + Protium + ENERGY
OR Deuterium + Tritium --> Helium + neutron + ENERGY- Aelement

12Nuclear fusion can occur in the core of main sequence stars because the high temperatures and pressure are able to force nuclei close enough together to overcome the electrostatic repulsion. Nuclei bigger than helium have larger electrostatic repulsive forces, so can only fuse in the cores of larger, denser stars such as a red giant or red supergiant.

13A star has a structure that in some ways is similar to the structure of our planet.
The core is the [blank_start]hottest[blank_end] and most dense part of the star. This is where [blank_start]nuclear fusion[blank_end] takes place and where high energy [blank_start]photons[blank_end] are released.
Energy is transported to the surface of the star by photons of [blank_start]radiated[blank_end] energy and also via powerful [blank_start]convection[blank_end] currents (the movement of molecules in fluids, in this case energy transferred in the plasma).
The [blank_start]photosphere[blank_end] is the outer part of the star, where the photons are radiated into space.- Ahottest

14The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is a plot of temperature against luminosity. It identifies regions where supergiants, red giants, main sequence stars and white dwarfs are located.
