<u>Answer: </u>The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A star is defined as a fixed point in the night sky which illuminates and is very large. the primary element present in stars is Hydrogen and it continuously changes to helium by a process known as Nuclear fusion reaction. This process releases a huge amount of energy.

Nuclear fusion reaction is defined as the combination of lighter nuclei to form a heavy nuclei. In Stars, hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom.

The reactions which takes place in stars follows a series of equations:

$_1^1\textrm{H}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _1^2\textrm{H}+_{+1}^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}\\\\_1^2\textrm{H}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^3\textrm{He}+\text{energy}\\\\_2^3\textrm{He}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_{+1}^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}$

Overall reaction for the above series of reactions is given by:

$4_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+2_{+1}^0\textrm{e}+\text{energy}$

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

Ann [662]

Answer:

B. Ecosystem B, because its high species diversity could have resulted from increased competition among its members.

Explanation:

This is because, in the ecosystem with varying level of biodiversity, Ecosystem B has medium level of species diversity found in them with High medium level of habitat diversity which causes increasing competitions among them.

Suppose you observe two stars and you know they have the same luminosity. If one star is twice as far away as the other, the mor

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The farther star will appear 4 times fainter than the star that is near to the observer.

Explanation:

Since it is given that the luminosity of the 2 stars is same thus they radiate the same energy per unit time

Consider a spherical wave front of energy 'E' that leaves both the stars (Both radiate 'E' as they have same luminosity)

This Energy is spread over the whole surface area of sphere Thus when the wave front is at a distance 'r' the energy per unit surface area is given by

$e_{1}=\frac{E}{4\pi r^{2}}$

For the star that is twice away from the earth the distance is '2r' thus we will receive an energy given by

$e_{2}=\frac{E}{4\pi (2r)^{2}}=\frac{E}{8\pi r^{2}}=\frac{e_{1}}{4}$

Hence we sense it as 4 times fainter than the nearer star.
