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.

Question

True or false

The escape speed from a black hole would be greater than the speed of light.
If the impact time of a collision is increased, the force of impact will decrease.
A size of a Kelvin degree (^oK) is larger than a Celsius degree (^oC).

Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.

A neutron star is a cold, collapsed star with nuclear density. A particular neutron star has a mass twice that of our Sun with a radius of 12.0 km. (a) What would be the weight of a 100-kg astronaut on standing on its surface? (b) What does this tell us about landing on a neutron star?
The light from a heated atomic gas is shifted in frequency because of the random thermal motion of light-emitting atoms toward or away from an observer. Estimate the fractional Doppler shift (f/f0), assuming that light of frequency f0 is emitted in the rest frame of each atom, that the light-emitting atoms are iron atoms in a star at temperature 6000 K, and that the atoms are moving relative to an observer with the mean speed =8kBTm Must we use the relativistic Doppler shift formulas f=f01/c1/c for this calculation? Such thermal Doppler shifts are measurable and are used to determine stellar surface temperatures.

When you throw a ball into the air, it usually falls back down. If you throw it a little harder, it will take it longer to fall back down. You can throw it so hard that it never falls back down to Earth. This launch speed is called the escape velocity. When you are far from Earth, the potential energy of an object with mass m can no longer be written as PE = mgh. Instead, we must use the equation М-т PE = -G .. 1" M is the mass of the planet you launch from. m is the mass of the object being launched. r is the distance from the center of the planet to the object being launched. G is a universal constant called the gravitational constant (6.67-10-" ). kg-s Notice that the potential energy is 0 when you are infinitely far away from the planet, and negative as you get closer.

The radius Rh of a black hole is the radius of a mathematicalsphere, called the event horizon, that is centered on the blackhole. Information from events inside the event horizon cannotreach the outside world. According to Einstein’s general theory ofrelativity, Rh = 2GM/c2, where M is the mass of the black hole andc is the speed of light.Suppose that you wish to study a black hole near it, at a radialdistance of 50Rh. However, you do not want the difference in gravitationalacceleration between your feet and your head to exceed10 m/s2 when you are feet down (or head down) toward the blackhole. (a) As a multiple of our Sun’s mass MS, approximately what isthe limit to the mass of the black hole you can tolerate at the givenradial distance? (You need to estimate your height.) (b) Is the limitan upper limit (you can tolerate smaller masses) or a lower limit(you can tolerate larger masses)?

General Relativity Consider a spherical blackbody of constant temperature and mass M whose surface lies at radial coordinate r = R. An observer located at the surface of the sphere and a distant observer both measure the blackbody radiation given off by the sphere.Both observers use Wien's law, the below equation, to determine the blackbody's temperature. Show that 2GM T = T/1 Rc2
The following quotation is taken from the article “Quantum Black Holes”, by Bernard J. Carr and Steven B. Giddings, in the May 2005 issue of Scientific American. "The total time for a black hole to evaporate away is proportional to the cube of its initial mass. For a solar-mass hole, the lifetime is an unobservably long 1064 years." a. Recall that the solar mass is 2 × 10³0 kilograms. Write a formula for the lifetime, L, of a black hole as a function of its mass, m. Start by finding the value of the constant k, then write your function using the letter k (rather than its value in scientific notation). For example, for a direct variation you would write “L(m) = km”. k = a × 10¹ where a = L(m) = b. The present age mass = c × 10ª kg, where c = A and b = = of the universe is about 10¹0 years. What would be the mass of a black hole as old as the universe? ID and d = J
