Consider the absorption line spectrum given below for Star G. Can you determine the
approximate temperature for Star G by comparing its absorption line spectrum to the
absorption line spectra and temperatures of Stars A-F given above? If so, write in your
estimate in the space below; if not, explain why not.
FA 244 74 Analyzing Spectra Consider the following statement made by a student regarding a star's temperature and as coresponding absorption line spectrum Student: I am looking at a ater's absorption line spectrum and see that it has a lot of nes at the blue end of the spectrum, then the star must be hot because the blue lines are higher energy lines Do you agree or disagree with this student? Explain your reasoning and support your answer by citing evidence from the absorption line spectre given for Stars A-G F7 DELL F10 F12 Page <
Analyzing Spectra The absorption line spectra for six hypothetical stars, each with different temperatures, are shown below. For each absorption line spectrum, the short wavelengths of light (or blue end) of the electromagnetic spectrum are shown on the left side, and the long wavelengths of light (or red end) of the spectrum are shown on the right side. Star A T-30,000 K Star C T-12,000 K Star E T-8,000 K Star B T=20,000 K Star D T-18,000 K Star F T-24,000 K 71
