Question 41
Most stars have at least some variation in luminosity, but unless the �luctuation is large enough
to be seen from Earth, the star isn’t classi�ied as variable.
The changes in brightness of variable stars aren’t generally noticeable to the unaided eye, even if
the brightness does change over short timescales. To observe most variable stars, you need to
monitor the brightness of the star carefully over extended periods of time.
But there are examples of stars whose brightness has noticeably faded, over short timescales.
One famous example is the red super giant star Betelgeuse.
𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋
Its brightness �luctuates over time, following the equation 𝑦𝑦 = 2 + 3 sin( ) where 𝑦𝑦 is the
3
magnitude of the brightness and 𝑥𝑥 is the number of days.

𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋
a) Sketch the graph of 𝑦𝑦 = 2 + 3 sin( 3 ), for 0 ≤ 𝑥𝑥 ≤ 4𝜋𝜋 on the grid given below. 2
Show all 𝑥𝑥 and 𝑦𝑦 intercepts.

b) Hence or otherwise calculate how many days it takes for the star to go from its dimmest to 1
brightest and back to dimmest again.
