Provide a quantitative explanation to the following question: Why do the spectra of A-type stars show strong Hydrogen Balmer absorption lines, but M-stars have none?
The lines are the result of electrons in orbit around a nucleus changing energy levels.The hydrogen lines in the visible part of the spectrum (called Balmer lines) are strongest in stars with intermediate temperatures—not too hot and not too cold.so A type star shows strong Hydrogen Balmer absorption lines whereas M star has different temperature.

What is an absorption line spectrum and why do stars have absorption line spectra?
30. Why are the Balmer lines in the spectra of giant stars narrower than those for main-sequence stars? 31. Binary stars are [common, very rare]. 32. Binary stars allow us to determine what very important property of stars? 33. In a binary system the center of mass lies closer to the [more massive, less massive] star. 34. What type of star is Sirius B? [main sequence, white dwarf, giant] 35. Why does a spectroscopic binary system only allow us to...
Consider two stars: the 5,800 K G-type star the Sun, and the 33,000 K O- type star Orionis. Assume that the atmospheres of both stars are pure H and have a density of 1o kg/m. (a)[15 pts] For both stars, what is the ratio of neutral H atoms in the ground, first and second excited states (n 1, 2 and 3) (b) [15 pts] For both stars, what fraction of H atoms are ionized? Note that the electron density n,...

4. Saha equation This question involves the use of the Saha equation applied to neutral and ionised hydrogen. a) Determine the partition function of neutral hydrogen at a temperature of 10000 K to 1 decimal place. (3 marks) b) i) Find the ratio of ionised hydrogen relative to neutral hydrogen at 10000 K when the electron density is N=1020 m, a typical value for a stellar atmosphere. (You may assume that the partition function for ionised hydrogen is 1.0.) ii)...
I was having trouble with some lab question on atomic emission spectra. Also answer the following questions about your observations: Are the lines present in the hydrogen spectrum the same lines predicted by the Bohr model the atom? Which lines, if any, are missing? Why might there be lines missing? Compare the spectral lines from your unknown substance to the other spectra you observed. Based on these comparisons, what is the identity of the unknown substance? Are there any general...
Question 2 (1 point) The Weak Interaction is weak because Question 2 options: To interact weakly requires the creation of a heavy gauge boson Not many particles participate in it Particles that interact weakly do so at a great distance The weak interaction involves neutrinos which are rare Question 3 (1 point) All other things being equal, which of the following conditions would result in more nuclear reactions taking place each second inside the Sun than is currently the case...
