1 ASSIGNMENT BOOKLET Bachelor's Degree Programme PHE-15 ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS Valid from July 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012 It is compulsory to submit the Assignment before filling in the Term-End Examination Form. Please Note You can take electives (56 to 64 credits) from a minimum of TWO and a maximum of FOUR science disciplines, viz. Physics, Chemistry, Life Sciences and. You can opt for elective courses worth a MINIMUM OF 8 CREDITS and a MAXIMUM OF 48 CREDITS from any of these four disciplines. At least 25% of the total credits that you register for in the elective courses from Life Sciences, Chemistry and Physics disciplines must be from the laboratory courses. For example, if you opt for a total of 64 credits of electives in these 3 disciplines, at least 16 credits should be from lab courses. You cannot appear in the Term-End Examination of any course without registering for the course. Otherwise, your result will not be declared and the onus will be on you. Please send your assignment response and feedback to: Prof. Vijayshri Course Coordinator, PHE-15 School of Sciences, Room No. 128, Block D, New Academic Complex IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, NEW DELHI School of Sciences Indira Gandhi National Open University Maidan Garhi, New Delhi (For July, 2011 Cycle)
2 Dear Student, We hope you are familiar with the system of evaluation to be followed for the Bachelor s Degree Programme. At this stage you may probably like to re-read the section on assignments for Elective Courses in the Programme Guide that we sent you after your enrolment. A weightage of 30 per cent, as you are aware, has been earmarked for continuous evaluation which would consist of one tutor-marked assignment (TMA) for this course. Instructions for Formatting Your Assignment Before attempting the assignment please read the following instructions carefully: 1) On top of the first page of your TMA answer sheet, please write the details exactly in the following format: ENROLMENT NO.: NAME : ADDRESS : COURSE CODE:. COURSE TITLE :. ASSIGNMENT NO.. STUDY CENTRE:.... DATE:.... PLEASE FOLLOW THE ABOVE FORMAT STRICTLY TO FACILITATE EVALUATION AND TO AVOID DELAY. 2) Use only foolscap size writing paper (but not of very thin variety) for writing your answers. 3) Leave 4 cm margin on the left, top and bottom of your answer sheet. 4) Your answers should be precise and in your own words. Do not copy answers from study material. 5) While solving problems, clearly indicate the question number along with the part being solved. Write units at each step of your calculations as done in the text because marks will be deducted for such mistakes. Take care of significant digits in your work. Recheck your work before submitting it. 6) This assignment will remain valid from July 1, 2011 to March 31, However, you are advised to submit it within 12 weeks of receiving this booklet to accomplish its purpose as a teaching-tool. 7) A feedback form is being sent along with this assignment. PLEASE FILL IT UP AND POST IT TO US. Answer sheets received after the due date shall not be accepted. We strongly feel that you should retain a copy of your assignment response to avoid any unforeseen situation and append, if possible, a photocopy of this booklet with your response. If you have any problems or queries related to the course, you can write to us on the vijayashri@ignou.ac.in. We wish you good luck. 2
3 Tutor Marked Assignment PHE-15: Astronomy and Astrophysics Course Code: PHE-15 Assignment Code: PHE-15/TMA/ Max. Marks: 100 Note: Answer in your own words. DO NOT COPY FROM THE COURSE MATERIALS. The marks for each question are indicated against it. Symbols have their usual meanings. 1. (a) Express the distances of planet Pluto from the Earth in light year and parsec and the star Proxima Centauri from the Sun in AU and parsec. (10) (b) Draw the celestial sphere showing the observer s meridian, zenith, celestial equator and the horizon for an observer at latitude 30 N. Show the horizon coordinates of a star X on the celestial sphere for this observer. Would these coordinates be the same at latitude 60 N? ( ) (c) Which telescope, optical or X-ray, would have higher resolving power for the same aperture? Calculate the magnitude of the faintest object that a 1 m optical telescope can detect. (2+3) 2. (a) How does the radiation generated in the Sun s interior differ from the radiation we receive from the Sun s surface? What is the reason for it? Explain why the temperature of sunspots is lower than their surroundings. (2+3+3) (b) The temperature inside a sunspot is 400 K and that of its surrounding is 6000 K. Calculate the strength of the magnetic field inside the sunspot which will balance the pressure inside and outside. (5) (c) Discuss the formation of nebular disk and the three stages of the formation of planets from the solar nebula. (3+4) (d) Discuss the contribution of M.N. Saha in the classification of stars. Explain with an example. (5) 3. (a) What are the constituents of interstellar medium? What is the significance of 21-cm radiation in the study of ISM? How is the 21-cm radiation produced? Why is it not possible to produce 21-cm radiation in the laboratory? ( ) (b) The estimated lifetime of the Sun on the main sequence is ~ years. Calculate the main sequence lifetime of a star of mass 2 M Θ. (5) (c) Suppose a collapsing cloud is made of neutral hydrogen (HI) only. Calculate its Jeans mass taking its temperature as 60K and its number density as 900 m 3. (5) (d) What is the Chandrasekhar limit? Discuss the evolution of stars whose masses are beyond the Chandrasekhar limit. (5) 4. (a) Describe the classification of active galaxies. (10) (b) Explain Hubble s classification of galaxies. (10) (c) Explain the concept of cosmic distance ladder. (5) 3
