Infrared light is used to see through cold dust; study warm gas and dust, and relatively cool stars; and detect molecules in the atmospheres of planets and stars.
Most stars emit the bulk of their electromagnetic energy as visible light, that sliver of the spectrum our eyes can see. Hotter stars emit higher energy light, so the color of the star indicates how hot it is. This means that red stars are cool, while blue stars are hot.
Most stars emit the bulk of their electromagnetic energy as visible light, that sliver of the spectrum our eyes can see. Hotter stars emit higher energy light, so the color of the star indicates how hot it is. ... UV light traces the hot glow of stellar nurseries and is used to identify the hottest, most energetic stars.
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body while in motion. Potential energy on the other hand is the energy possessed by a body based on its position.
Kinetic energy of a body is determined by the equation; K.E = 3RT/2;
From the equation, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature of the system and therefore an increase in the kinetic energy of a sample causes an increase in temperature of the system.
