To perform simple calculations relating magnitude differences to brightness ratios.. To distinguish between apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude. Physics. Understand that a star is in equilibrium under the action of two opposing forces, gravitation and the radiation pressure of the star. Appreciate that nuclear fusion provides the energy source of a star. Evan Walsh. Mentors: Ivan . Bazarov. . and David Sagan. August 13, 2010. Accelerating charges emit electromagnetic radiation.
