1

Use Figure 16.9 to determine whether the wavelength of the α line of the Lyman series of hydrogen is longer or shorter than the wavelength of the Lyman β line.
2

Use Figure 16.5 to find the number of stars with absolute magnitude 6 compared with those of absolute magnitude 13.
3

Use Figure 16.9 to explain why the frequency of the γ line of the Lyman series of hydrogen is equal to the sum of the frequencies of the α line of the Lyman series and the β line of the Balmer series.
4

Use Figure 16.15 to find the ratio of the abundances of tin and iron.
5

Use Figure 16.21 to find the luminosity (in terms of the Sun's luminosity) of a 0.2 solar mass star and a 5 solar mass star.
