A typical white dwarf is approximately the size of Earth, and its surfacetemperature is about 2.5×10 3K. A typical red giant has a surface temperature of 3.0×104 K and a radius ~100,000 times larger than that of a white dwarf.a) What is the average radiated power per unit area by each of these types of stars?b) What is the ratio of total power radiated from the white dwarf over the power of the red giantarrow_forward
