    A zero magnitude star has luminosity \[{{I}_{0}}=2.52\times {{10}^{-8}}W{{m}^{-2}}\]. Luminosity of a\[-10\] magnitude star is

    A)  \[2.52\times {{10}^{-4}}W{{m}^{-2}}\]

    B)  \[2.52\times {{10}^{-5}}W{{m}^{-2}}\]

    C)  \[2.52\times {{10}^{-6}}W{{m}^{-2}}\]

    D)  \[2.52\times {{10}^{-7}}W{{m}^{-2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    : The brightness of stars is represented through the system of magnitudes. Thus, \[I={{I}_{0}}\times {{100}^{-m/5}}\] \[\therefore \] \[I={{I}_{0}}\times {{(100)}^{+10/5}}\] Or \[I=(2.52\times {{10}^{-8}})\times {{(100)}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[I=2.52\times {{10}^{-4}}W{{m}^{-2}}\].
