-
yellow, blue, red
-
blue, yellow, red
Questão 12
Questão
Is it possible for a red star to emit more energy than a blue star?
Responda
-
No, because the red star has a lower temperature.
-
Yes, if the red star has a larger area.
-
Yes, if the red star has a larger wavelength of maximum intensity.
-
No, because red stars are less massive than blue stars.
Questão 13

Questão 14
Questão
What is the explanation for the pattern of granulation seen on the visible surface of the Sun?
Responda
-
The granules form the base of a circulation pattern that extends from the photosphere to the outer corona.
-
The granules are regions of nuclear energy generation in the Sun
-
Each granule contains a strong magnetic field, which compresses and heats the gas underneath it.
-
The granules are the tops of hot gases that have risen from the Sun's convective Zone
