Shoot, I had...flux, absolute bolometric magnitude, and luminosity i think? I think I ended up dividing wavelength by the speed of light, and then multiplying the...flux by that time I think? Yes. Is that right? It was for a take home test that I already turned in, but I still want to know...
So, another question. I need to determine photons/m^2, and I have wavelength and flux. exact problem reads:
Using the peak emission wavelength of Sirius A as an estimate of the average wavelength and assuming that the flux is reduced by a factor of two due to atmospheric absorption, determine...
Hi everyone,
So I have always been interested in space, and when my college offered an intro to astrophysics course with no prerequisites, I jumped at the opportunity. I had already had a lower level astronomy/physics course, and physics and astronomy in high school, so I thought I'd be...
