EM Spectrum
What part of the Em Spectrum has the lowest wavelength?
Gamma Rays
What factor determines how a Star's life is going to end?
Mass
Blue
What is the term for how stars create new elements
Stellar Nucleosynthesis
What part of the atom is important to creating new elements?
Protons
This part of the Em spectrum is often referred to as Heat vision and is common in reptiles
Infrared Light
All stars are formed in a what?
Nebula
This is the suns classification in the Harvard system
G2
Where did the hydrogen and helium in the universe come from?
The Big Bang
What is the best monster flavor?
Orange or White
Does Energy increase with wavelength or with frequency?
Frecuency
This is the stage of a stars life after main sequence
Giant or Supergiant
What is the difference between absolute magnitude and apparent magnitude
Absolute is from measuring the brightness mathematically, apparent is the brightness from Earth
This is the Element that most stars stop at when fusing elements
Iron
What direction does temperature increase on an HR diagram
Right to left
What part of the visible light spectrum has the highest frequency?
Violet/purple
What is the stage before death of a low mass star?
White dwarf
What are the two factors graphed on an HR diagram?
Temperature and Luminosity
When Carbon is fused with Helium, the resulting element is what?
Oxygen
How do stars die?
Iron builds up in the cores and is unable to be fused any further, so the star can no longer fuse elements to have energy.
Why are high energy parts of the EM spectrum harmful to people?
They can pass through our bodies and cause damage to cells
What is the result of the death of a high mass star (2 options)
Black hole and supernova

OBAFGKM
What are the two main factors that facilitate the formation of new elements
Temperature and Pressure
How far away is the sun?
93 Million miles
