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.

Thomas his older brothers, who own a junk yard, on the weekends to earn extra money. he likes to them push broken-down cars to the back of the junk yard because it makes him feel strong. last saturday, they pushed three cars with different weights, and he noticed he used different amounts of force for each one. the cars were the following weights: white car: 2,700 kg red car: 1,500 kg blue car: 2,100 kg think about how much force is needed to move each car. which correctly lists the cars in order from the most to least amount of force needed to move them? a) white, blue, red b) blue, red, white c) red, white, blue d) white, red, blue
