In stars more massive than the sun, the core temperature is hotter, which allows for fusion of more complex elements.
Most of the fusion occurs in the core.
In stars more massive than the sun, fusion continues through Deuterium, Carbon, and finally reaching iron/nickel.
Up to this point, the fusion reaction was endothermic, which means that the energy expended to produce the fusion reaction was exceeded by the energy produced in the reaction.
Fusion past iron is exothermic, and therefore the star will be able to survive by fusing elements heavier than iron.
After the core is almost entirely iron, the star is no longer in the Main Sequence.
So, fusion in stars more massive than the sun continue fusing until the core is almost entirely <em>iron</em>.
Answer:
b) The star is moving away from us.
Explanation:
If an object moves toward us, the light waves it emits are compressed - the wavelength of the light will be shorter, making the light bluer. On the other hand, if an object moves away from us, the light waves are stretched, making it redder. If from laboratory measurements we know that a specific hydrogen spectral line appears at the wavelength of 121.6 nanometers (nm) and the spectrum of a particular star shows the same hydrogen line appearing at the wavelength of 121.8 nm, we can conclude that the star is moving away from npos, since the wavelength related to that star is more expanded.
