  • Q12
    An astronomer has observed two stars in space that stationary relative to Earth. The Star A emits strongly in infrared light. The Star B emits strongly in ultraviolet. Which is the BEST explanation of the observation?
    Star A has the same average temperature as Star B because temperature does not depend on the light emitted.
    Star A has a lower average temperature than Star B because cooler objects will emit strongly in infrared light.
    Star A has a greater average temperature than Star B because hotter objects will emit strongly in infrared light.
    Star A has the same average temperature as Star B, but Star A is farther away, shifting the light emitted.

  • Q13
    There are two bright stars in a constellation. One of the stars appears blue. The other star appears red. Which of the following is the BEST explanation for the difference in the stars’ color?
    The blue star must be moving toward the Earth and the red star away from Earth.
    The blue star must have a greater surface temperature compared to the red star.
    The blue star must have a larger size compared to the red star.
    The blue star must have a smaller mass compared to the red star.
