Spectrum of hot gas uniformly mixed with dust

[QUOTE="starstruck_, post: 6067260, member: 609947"] hey! EDIT: I didn’t post this in homework help because there aren’t any computational questions, it’s just conceptual My assignment scenario consists of a star (blackbody) surrounded by an expanding shell of hot gas. I’m given its spectrum and it is a continuous emission spectrum. Emission due to the hot gas and continuous due to the blackbody hidden behind the hot gas. Now I’m told to assume that dust has been uniformly mixed into the shell of hot gas. I have to draw the spectrum for this scenario. (I’m not sure if I did this right. I’m probably misreading the graph. )I know that blue light is scattered more than red and the light would dim because I’d the dust. I did drew a continuous spectrum, however I lowered the peak and the blue wavelength (left) side of the spectrum as well as the red wavelength side of the spectrum, however the red side was higher than the blue side. The darker line is what I drew, and the lighter one is what I was given. I’m almost certain this is incorrect because I don’t really understand what dust does to spectra. [/QUOTE]
