Question
Consider these three stars ( A,B,C) Which star emits more UV light than the other stars? How does this star compare to the other stars, in terms of temperature? Hydrogen atoms are ionized (electrons transitioned from n = 1 to n = \infty) when they absorb light with wavelength of about 121 nm (UV light). Of these stars which star emits more ionizing photons (for Hydrogen at least)? Purely from the perspective of light, why does hotter Hydrogen gas have a higher proportion of ionized Hydrogen atoms (ions) ? Of these three stars (A, B, C) pictured below, which star emits more red light than blue light, compared to itself? What "color" would this star appear to the naked eye? Which star emits roughly the same (or similar) amount of red and blue light? What "color" would this star appear to the naked eye? How does the color green fit into this consideration? Suppose you have a red star, and a blue star, but they are the same radius, which is more luminous? Explain your answer. If you have a high luminosity star, and a low luminosity star, but they are the same temperature, which one is larger in radius? Explain your answer. All (other) things being equal, how does the temperature of a star influence the quantity of lonizing ultra-violet photons emitted by the star? Does this Influence the strength of Hydrogen absorption lines in a star's spectrum? How?
