Calculation is super-simplified - if you take more advanced astronomy courses, you will do the same calculation more carefully. in this problem 'bh' means black hole. we will consider the bh of mass equal to twenty solar masses mbh = 20msun (a) consider a single hydrogen atom at rest infinitely far from the bh. as it falls towards the bh its speed will increase. find the speed of the atom at distance d = 105 km from the center of the bh. this should be easy enough, as this speed is exactly equal to the escape speed at distance d from the black hole. you already used the equation for escape speed in hw 2 and in problem 2 of this hw. (b) find the kinetic energy k = m/v2/2 of the hydrogen atom at that point, with speed v equal to what you just found in part (a). you will have to look up the mass of hydrogen atom mi. (c) all atoms falling in towards the bh will collide, exchange energy, and form an accretion disk. since energy is conserved, at distance d the average energy (e) of all particles must remain exactly equal to what you calculated in part (b), i. e. (e) = k. taking this into account, we write the equation relating the average particle energy in the ideal gas to the gas temperature as 3 k = }kbt 2 where kb is boltzmann's constant (look up its numerical value). using this equation, find the temperature t of the accretion disk at that point. temperature t you will get from this equation will be in kelvins. (d) now that you have found the temperature, use wien’s displacement law imax =b/t to find the maximum wavelength imar of thermal radiation of the accretion disk. you already used wien's law in hw 3 - recall that b is wien's constant. what is the wavelenght of imax in nanometers, and in which part of the spectrum is that wavelength?

Explain the difference between each pair of concepts. a. frequency and relative frequency b. percentage and relative frequency a. select the correct choice below. a. frequency is the total number of observations in a data set. relative frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. b. frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. relative frequency is the ratio of the frequency of a value to the total number of observations. c. frequency is the total number of observations in a data set. relative frequency is the ratio of the number of times a particular distinct value occurs to the frequency. d. frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. relative frequency is the ratio of the frequency of two different values.
