Astronomers typically measure the color of stars at multiple wavelengths. the difference in the magnitude of the stars as measured in two parts of the spectrum is known as its:________

Answer :

Astronomers typically use filters that exclusively transmit light from a specific narrow band of wavelengths to measure a star's apparent brightness in order to determine the precise color of a star (colors).

Around 0.001 magnitude of starlight may be measured with accuracy by photoelectric photometers. The method of surface photometry, which gauges apparent magnitude in magnitudes per square arcsecond, can also be applied to extended objects like planets, comets, nebulae, and galaxies. The varied hues are caused by the light's estimated blackbody radiation, which is more sensitive to the star's temperature than to the specifics of its composition. As a result, astronomers can gauge a star's surface temperature by observing its hue.
