Calculate the velocity of a star moving relative to the earth if you observe a wavelength of 91.0 nm for ionized hydrogen capturing an electron directly into the lowest orbital (that is, a ni = ∞ to nf = 1 , or a Lyman series transition).
Consider a star whose density increases toward its center. If we model this star as a series of concentric shells (each shell having its own uniform density), then the equation of mass continuity relates the mass in each shell to the density and volume of the shell. The star has the following two regimes:
Core: ⍴r = ⍴0 from r = 0 to r = r0
Envelope: ⍴r = ⍴0(r/r0)-2 from r = r0 to r = R
Integrate the equation of mass continuity (see provided image) over the appropriate ranges to find expressions for the masses in the core and in the envelope. Add the two expressions to find an alegbraic expression for the total M inside R.
A black hole is a blackbody if ever there was one, so it should emit blackbody radiation, called Hawking radiation. A black hole of mass M has a total energy of MC2, a surface area of 16πG2M2 / c4 and a temperature of hc3 /16π2kGM.
Imagine a black hole in empty space, where it emits radiation but absorbs nothing. As it loses energy, its mass must decrease; one could say it "evaporates." Derive a differential equation for the mass as a function of time, and solve this equation to obtain an expression for the lifetime of a black hole in terms of its initial mass.
