Based on what you know about observations of the interstellar medium at wavelengths other than for visible light, select all of the correct statements from the following list. -The 21-cm radio observations are of neutral hydrogen. -Much interstellar dust between stars is not visible. -The source of hot gas observed at X-ray wavelengths is not known. -All interstellar material is cool. -Interstellar dust is observed at ultraviolet wavelengths. -Giant molecular clouds consist mostly of CO molecules. -Material observed at wavelengths longer than that of visible light is usually cool.
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.
