A) Show that, if the ratio of the blackbody fluxes from a star at two different frequencies is measured, then, in principle, the surface temperature of the star can be derived, even if the star's solid angle on the sky is unknown (e. g., if it is too distant to be spatially resolved, and its distance and surface area are both unknown)

B) Explain why it will be hard, in practice, to derive the temperature measurement if both frequencies are on the Rayleigh-Jeans side of the blackbody curve, hv << kT.

C) For the case that both measurements are on the Wien tail of the blackbody curve, hv >> kT, derive a simple, approximate expression for the temperature as a function of the two frequencies and of the flux ratio at the two frequencies.

D) If, in addition to the flux ratio in (c), a parallax measurement and the total flux (integrated over all frequencies) at Earth are available, show that the star's radius can be derived.

Tafari worked one summer on a ship that set weather buoys in the ocean. he watched how one of the buoys moved in the water. describe which parts of the wave would cause the buoy to bob up and down. which wave property determined how fast the buoys bobbed in the water? he observed that when the wind blew harder, the ocean waves were larger, and the buoys moved away from the ship. what effect, if any, did the waves have on how far the buoys moved? explain your answer.

Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45° over a level field. she watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands, two seconds after being kicked, about 20 m away to the north. assume that air resistance is negligible, and plot the horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity as a function of time. consider only the time that the ball is in the air, after being kicked but before landing. take "north" and "up" as the positive ‑ and ‑directions, respectively, and use ≈10 m/s2 for the downward acceleration due to gravity.
