See Hint
A.Each photon may be a different energy than it was when it was created in the nuclear reactions.
B.Each photon may be a different color than it was when it was created in the nuclear reactions.
C.There will be no effect on the results. Photons emitted from the surface of the Sun can be used to directly study the nuclear reactions in the Sun's interior.
D.Each photon would have been created a long time ago: it would be impossible to use them to study nuclear reactions as they are happening right now in the Sun's interior.
Explanation / Answer
A. each photon may be a different energy than it was when it was created in the nuclear reactions. the photon
travels until it scatters off an electron, at which point it may lose energy and begins traveling in another random
direction.
