Q. Graham's law states that at same pressure and temperature, rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to its molecular mass.

Q. Like the solar spectrum the spectra of stars show a continuous spectrum on which dark absorption lines are superimposed. The inner layer (called the photosphere) of the star emits radiations of all wavelengths, producing a continuous spectrum. When these radiations pass through the outer, relatively cooler, layer of the star, the radiation of certain wavelengths are selectively absorbed by this layer. This explains the dark lines in thespectrum of a star. The dark lines are characteristic of the substances present in the outer layer of the star.The surface temperature
