Answer:
Explanation:
1. We can find the temperature of each star using the Wien's Law. This law is given by:
(1)
So, the temperature of the first and the second star will be:
Now the relation between the absolute luminosity and apparent brightness is given:
(2)
Where:
- L is the absolute luminosity
- l is the apparent brightness
- r is the distance from us in light years
Now, we know that two stars have the same apparent brightness, in other words l₁ = l₂
If we use the equation (2) we have:
So the relative distance between both stars will be:
(3)
The Boltzmann Law says, (4)
- σ is the Boltzmann constant
- A is the area
- T is the temperature
- L is the absolute luminosity
Let's put (4) in (3) for each star.
As we know both stars have the same size we can canceled out the areas.
I hope it helps!
