In many text, the Sun is referred to as a low-mass star, yet it is also referred to as a medium-mass (or intermediate-mass) star in some other text. Which one is "correct"? What is the range of low-mass vs medium-mass? Is it really just low-mass vs high-mass and that medium-mass is just the...
Ok, there lies some of my confusion. You said that it is a continuous spectrum with lines removed by absorption. Is that not an absorption spectrum? I guess I am confused by the usage of these two terms at this point. Are they both correct? As in, the spectrum of the Sun IS continuous, but since...
I get that part, but maybe I'm just not seeing an obvious answer or something. If I look at the spectrum of a beam of sunlight, would I see a continuous one or one with dark lines on it? I thought I would see an absorption one (like this...
Ok, I'm a bit confused with the spectrum of the Sun. Is the spectrum of the Sun continuous or absorption? Better yet, is it both? Or am I totally confusing myself? I understand that the source itself is continuous but it is partially absorbed (wrong phrasing?) as it passes through the outer...
From my understanding, if I connect a capacitor to a power source, given enough time the capacitor will be fully charged and no current goes through the circuit. What if I have two or multiple capacitors connected in series? Do they all get charged at the same time? What if they have different...
