EXOPLANET TRANSIT case: Which option best applies the AQA A-Level Physics objective "Explain supernova formation in massive stars." in Supernovae, neutron stars and black holes using the relevant astronomical observation rather than a generic calculation?.
- A.astro-211-exoplanet-transit: Use Explain supernova formation in massive stars. in Supernovae, neutron stars and black holes.
- B.astro-211-exoplanet-transit: Swap Supernovae, neutron stars and black holes with a different Classification of stars method.
- C.astro-211-exoplanet-transit: Give a number or label without linking it to the astronomical evidence.
- D.astro-211-exoplanet-transit: Ignore the observation and use a generic star or telescope statement.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The correct option is astro-211-exoplanet-transit: Use Explain supernova formation in massive stars.
- in Supernovae, neutron stars and black holes.
Explanation
Why this works
It is correct because the exoplanet transit context supports explain supernova formation in massive stars. The distractors are weaker because they confuse observational evidence, distance scale, spectra, telescope resolution, brightness or cosmological reasoning with a nearby but different astrophysics idea.
