An astronomer is measuring the electromagnetic radiation emitted by two stars, both of which are assumed to be perfect blackbody

emitters. For each star she makes a plot of the radiation intensity per unit wavelength as a function of wavelength. She notices that the curve for star A has a maximum that occurs at a shorter wavelength than does the curve for star B. What can she conclude about the surface temperatures of the two stars?
a. Star A has the greater surface temperature.
b. There is not enough information to draw a conclusion about the temperatures.
c. Star B has the greater surface temperature.
d. Both stars, being perfect blackbody emitters, have the same surface temperature.

Quasar spectra often show many absorption lines that all appear to be as a result of the same electron transition (such as level
Elanso [62]

Answer: Because of different redshift of cloud.

Explanation:

We are seeing absorption lines from clouds of gas that lie between us and the quasar, and therefore each cloud has a different redshift.

A quasar's spectrum is hugely redshifted. And most astronomers think this large redshift tells us about the distance to the quasar.
