- A high tech company uses a satellite to measure the size of features on the surface of the earth.

You may assume that the mass of theatmosphere does not contribute significantly to the total mass of the star, so that the surfacegravity g = GMr/r2 is constant at all heights in the isothermal atmosphere. Assume an idealgas law P = nkT = (ρ/µmH) kT, where µ is the mean molecular weight and mH is the mass of ahydrogen atom. By solving the equation of hydrostatic equilibrium with these approximations, show that P(r) = P(0) exp ((−gµmH/kT)r) Briefly describe the meaning of the expression kT/gµmH. Some white dwarfs have an atmosphere of mostly hydrogen plasma, whereas others have an atmosphere dominated by helium plasma. For the simple model above, briefly discuss what major difference would be seen between these two cases. You can assume the same temperature and surface gravity for the two cases.arrow_forward
