10The Sun emits its maximum intensity of light at about 520 nm. According to Wien’s Law, at what wavelength would the maximum intensity be for a star with a surface temperature twice that of the Sun?
- A260 nm
- B1040 nm
- C5800 nm
- D11600 nm
11What is the sequence of star colours in order of increasing temperature?
- Ared, yellow, blue
- Bred, blue, yellow
- Cyellow, blue, red
- Dblue, yellow, red
12Is it possible for a red star to emit more energy than a blue star?
- ANo, because the red star has a lower temperature.
- BYes, if the red star has a larger area.
- CYes, if the red star has a larger wavelength of maximum intensity.
- DNo, because red stars are less massive than blue stars.
13The Stefan-Boltzmann law says that hot objects emit energy proportional to the fourth power of their temperature. One star has a temperature of 30,000 K and another star has a temperature of 6,000 K. Compared to the cooler star, how much more energy per second will the hotter star radiate from each square meter of its surface? (Please see appendix)

- C625 times
- D10^15 times
14What is the explanation for the pattern of granulation seen on the visible surface of the Sun?
- AThe granules form the base of a circulation pattern that extends from the photosphere to the outer corona.
- BThe granules are regions of nuclear energy generation in the Sun
- CEach granule contains a strong magnetic field, which compresses and heats the gas underneath it.
- DThe granules are the tops of hot gases that have risen from the Sun's convective Zone
15What is found in the centers of granules?
- Ahot material rising to the photosphere from below
