After a low mass star sheds its outer layers into a planetary nebula, it leaves behind its core, called a

• White Dwarf

• Neutron Star

• Protostar

• Zero-age main sequence

The smallest, densest stars in the universe are called...

• protostars
• white dwarfs
• neutron stars
• main sequence stars

How do star clusters form?

• by nebulae in interstellar space

• by a congregation of mass through black holes

• through massive shock waves

• through worm holes in space/time

What is the doppler effect?

• a change in the frequency of sound, light or other waves to cause a change in pitch

• A change in pitch that causes frequency, sound, light and other waves to disappear

• I have no idea

• A change in sound that alters frequency

when the frequency is higher what happens to the wavelength?

• the wavelength gets longer

• The wavelength gets shorter

• the wavelength doesn't change
