Astronomy help 1) Suppose you could observe stellar parallax from the orbit of Neptune.

1) Would it be easier or more difficult to measure stellar distances?

a) Neptune has the greater mass and radius than Earth. Therefore, parallaxes obtained from the Neptune would be smaller, and it would be more difficult to measure stellar distances.

b) Neptune has the greater mass and radius than Earth. Therefore, parallaxes obtained from the Neptune would be greater, and it would be easier to measure stellar distances.

c) Neptune has the greater orbital distance than Earth. Therefore, parallaxes obtained from the Neptune would be smaller, and it would be more difficult to measure stellar distances.

d) Neptune has the greater orbital distance than Earth. Therefore, parallaxes obtained from the Neptune would be greater, and it would be easier to measure stellar distances.

2) How would stellar parallax observed from Neptune differ from the stellar parallax we observe from Earth?

(parallax from Neptune/parallax from earth) =

3) Describe what would happen to the surface temperature of a star if its radius doubled but there was no change in luminosity.

the answer is = Luminosity increases both with increasing radius and increasing temperature. Therefore, a lower temperature would be required to maintain the star's constant luminosity.

3) By what factor would the temperature of the star change?

(T initial / T final)=

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.
