•
Incoming X-ray photon collides with an orbital electron.
•
This is an inelastic collision, and the photon transfers energy to the electron.
•
The electron is ejected and the photon is scattered (has lower energy).
•
This requires a higher voltage system that is required for the photoelectric effect.

•
The material of the star is acted upon by two forces, Gravity and Nuclear Reaction Forces.
•
Hydrogen in converted into Helium.
•
Rate of fusion eventually decreases in the core of the Sun as the Hydrogen is used up and converted to Helium.
•
The core contracts.
•
The loss of potential energy ion contraction results in increase in kinetic energy and so the temperature and pressure in the core increases.
•
Helium nuclei fuse to make heavier elements.
•
Radiation pressure is now greater and so outer parts of star expand.
•
There's greater luminocity because of an increased surface area and the surface temperature is less due to increase in potential energy - Red Giant.
•
As fusion stops the stability of the Sun decreases. The outer layer is lost.
•
The remains of the star collapse under its own gravity and becomes a white dwarf.
•
Regions of dust and gas with different densities
•
The regions with higher densities have more gravitational pull towards them, so over time they become even more dense.
•
the density increases even more to form a stellar nebula
•
density continuous to increase, resulting in more collisions between atoms, so PE decreases and KE & temperature both increase.
•
the process is repeated until a protostar is formed (a massive core that glows)
•
the protostar attracts even more material and becomes large enough to emit light
•
the core has a high density, pressure and temperature; allowing for the fusion of hydrogen and helium
