4) Suppose you observe a star that is three times as hot as the sun, but also three smaller in radius than the sun. a) What is the wavelength at which its spectrum peaks? Is that wavelength shorter or longer than that of the sun? b) How much more (or less) power (ie., luminosity or energy per time) is it emitting in total, compared to the sun?

Imagine we find a star that has the same radius as the Sun, but its temperature is 9.6 times greater. That star should be _____ times as luminous as the Sun. Suppose we find a planet with an orbital period of 200 days around a star with the same mass as the Sun, but only 75 percent as luminous. What is the planet’s semi-major axis, in AU?
