19. a) radius. b) mass. c) magnetic field. d) temperature. e) direction of motion. The frequency at which a star’s intensity is greatest depends directly on its Question 3

20. a) radius. b) mass. c) magnetic field. d) temperature. e) direction of motion. The frequency at which a star’s intensity is greatest depends directly on its Question 3 Wien’s Law means that hotter stars produce much more high- frequency light.

21. Question 4 a) cooler than b) the same temperature as c) older than d) hotter than e) more massive than The constellation ORION Rigel appears as a bright bluish star, whereas Betelgeuse appears as a bright reddish star. Rigel is ______ Betelgeuse. Betelgeuse Rigel

22. Question 4 Rigel appears as a bright bluish star, whereas Betelgeuse appears as a bright reddish star. Rigel is ______ Betelgeuse. The constellation ORION Betelgeuse Rigel a) cooler than b) the same temperature as c) older than d) hotter than e) more massive than Hotter stars look bluer in color; cooler stars look redder.
