Условие
A star with mass goes through an energy generating nuclear reaction . Here, the burning efficiency of the p-p(proton-proton) chain is 0.007, meaning that each mass yields of energy. Assuming that the has a total available hydrogen mass for nuclear reaction amounts to half of its original mass, and the luminosity() stays constant throughout the burning phase, get an expression of the hydrogen burning lifetime of the star.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e) None of the above
Отговори
- A
Решение
Total amount of energy available for burning is
Since remains constant, the burning lifetime is
Now using the mass-luminosity relationship
we obtain
Answer: A
