Question 3 1) radio & microwaves 2) X rays & ultraviolet light 3) infrared & gamma rays 4) visible light & radio waves 5) visible & ultraviolet light What types of Electro-Magnetic Radiation from space reach the surface of Earth? Earth’s atmosphere allows radio waves & visible light to reach the ground.
Question 4 1) radius. 2) mass. 3) magnetic field. 4) temperature. 5) direction of motion. The frequency at which a star’s intensity is greatest depends directly on its
Question 4 1) radius. 2) mass. 3) magnetic field. 4) temperature. 5) direction of motion. The frequency at which a star’s intensity is greatest depends directly on its Wien’s Law means that hotter stars produce much more high frequency light.
