Explain why hydrogen Balmer absorption lines are much stronger for A-type stars, with pho- tospheric temperature of about 9900 K, compared to other types of star. Your answer should include a qualitative discussion of the role of Boltzman and Saha equations and diagrams of electron positions in the hydrogen atom for temperatures T < 9900 K, T = 9900 K, and T > 9900 K.
