Question 83:
Suppose a single star has spectral features indicating it has a high surface temperature that emits mostly blue light, but when observed, the star appears red. What is an explanation for this?
Answer Options:
The star is more heavily associated with a hot HII region. The hydrogen in its HII region will glow blue and add up all the blue light from the star.
This indicates that the star is moving away rapidly so that the blue light is redshifted by the Doppler effect.
Light from the hot star passes through clouds containing interstellar dust. The dust scatters blue light far more and allows red light to pass through. The effect is that the star appears red even though it is emitting mostly blue light.
Correct Answer:
Light from the hot star passes through clouds containing interstellar dust. The dust scatters blue light far more and allows red light to pass through. The effect is that the star appears red even though it is emitting mostly blue light.
