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?
