36. Two stars have the same diameter and are at the same distance from us (but in different parts of the sky.) Star A has a temperature of 4000 K, while star B has a temperature of 8000K. Which of the following statements is true: a. the two stars have the same total energy flux (luminosity) b. star B has twice the energy flux (luminosity) that star A has c. star B has one half the energy flux (luminosity) that star A has d. star B has 16 times the energy flux (luminosity) that star A has e. Sorry, professor, we don't have enough information to compare the energy flux (luminosity) of the two stars
