are known altogether. If the exploding star is in a nearby part of the galaxy, it may create a new
star that was not previously visible to the naked eye. The last new star of this sort that could be
observed clearly from the Northern Hemisphere appeared in 1946. In these smaller explosions the
star loses only a minute fraction of its mass and survives to explode again. Astrophysicists are
fairly well satisfied that they can account for the explosions of supernovae. The novae and dwarf
novae have presented more of a puzzle. From recent investigations that have provided important
new information about these two classes of exploding star, the picture that emerges is quite
astonishing. It appears that every dwarf nova and perhaps every nova is a member of a pair of
stars. The two stars are so close together that they revolve around a point that lies barely outside
the surface of the larger star. As a result the period of rotation is usually only a few hours, and their
velocities range upward to within a two-hundredth of the speed of light.
1. According to the passage, our observations of nova are hampered by their
A. extreme brightness
B. loss of mass
C. speed of rotation
D. distance from Earth
E. tremendous violence
3. By the term "new star" the author mean one that has
A. recently gained in mass
B. moved from a distant galaxy
C. become bright enough to strike the eye
D. not previously risen above the horizon
E. become visible by rotating in its orbit
4. Which from the following statement(s) true about novae and dwarf novae
I. 25 novae and super novae occur in our galaxy every year
II. occur in result of smaller explosions
III. only 100 of smaller explosions are known
A. I only
B.
C.
D.
E.
II only
III only
I and II
II and III
6. The statement, "velocities range upward to within a two-hundredth of the speed of light" is
for
A. novae
B. dwarf novae
C. supernova
D. novae and dwarf novae
E. pair of stars
7. The period of rotation of the pair of stars is usually only a few hours, because
A. the one star is so smaller
B. the two stars are very near to each other
C. the revolving point is too near
D. they do not have solid outer surface
E. their speed is equal to the speed of light
