Stellar evolution

We may see thousands of stars in the dark sky. Our universe consists of billions of stars. Stars may appear tiny to us but they are huge balls of gasses. Sun is a star of average size. Some stars are even a thousand times larger than the sun. The stars do not exist forever they have a certain lifetime. The life span of the sun is about 10 billion years. The star undergoes various changes during its lifetime, this process is called stellar evolution. The structure of the sun-like star is shown below.

Red Shift

It is an astronomical phenomenon. In this phenomenon, increase in wavelength with corresponding decrease in photon energy and frequency of radiation of light. It is the displacement of spectrum of any kind of astronomical object to the longer wavelengths (red) side.

The expanding universe is carrying distant objects away from each other at a rate proportional to their separations. We use the Doppler effect observed in spectra of distant galaxies and quasars to calculate recession speeds. For the most distant objects recession speeds approach c, and therefore, the relativistic Doppler shift expression must be used. We define the redshift, z, as the fractional change in wavelength. a) The most distant quasar currently known is ULAS J1120+0641, discovered with the UK Infrared Telescope on Mauna Kea. It has a redshift of 7.1. Calculate its radial velocity in terms of v/c. b) Determine the distance to this quasar. c) At what wavelength would the Ha line (656.28 nm) be observed for this quasar?
