Reach For The Stars

Will they make you identify the stars/elements (eg. Sun/Hydrogen) or will they just ask you what it is + how its used in astronomy? Thnx.

They could DEFINITELY ask about what it is and how it is used. As for identifying elements and stars and such, I would doubt it. I could see them maybe giving you elements' spectrums and giving you a spectrum of a star and then telling which elements are in the star. It's rly easy, but I could see that happening.

Thank you!!

Do we have to know about nuclear fusion and how to label it, or is that more like Astronomy?

MIght as well now how to label it just in case. But just make sure you know what it is, and also as stars get older they fuse together heavier elements to create more elements. The heaviest element that stars can get up to is iron, which is in a supergiant.

Aren't heavier elements formed during supernovas?

Well if you care I'll label it for you
a: beta radiation (electrons)
b: atom?
c: gamma radiation (photons)
d: Alpha radiation (helium nuclei)
e: neutron radiation (free neutrons)

I would assume in this case that B is a Hydrogen atom

uh not neccessarily, you come out with a helium nuclei in d . I would just call it an atom, it doesn't really matter which element it belongs to
Also those are just the types of ionizing radiation, not kinds of nucleur fusion.

Well, unless I've been taught wrong, in nuclear fusion, the fusing of hydrogen atoms form helium.
