Solution

A star that is hot enough to emit Ultraviolet light will also emit other forms of light. These include:

  1. Gamma rays: These are produced by the hottest and most energetic objects in the universe, such as neutron stars and pulsars, supernova explosions, and regions around black holes.

  2. X rays: Stars emit X-rays due to the high-energy processes taking place in their atmospheres.

  3. Visible light: This is the light that we can see. All stars, including our sun, emit visible light.

  4. Infrared: Stars of all temperatures emit infrared light, which is a type of light that we can't see with our eyes but can feel as heat.

  5. Radio waves: These are produced by a variety of astronomical sources, including stars.

Cosmic rays are not a form of light, but rather high-energy particles that originate outside the Solar System.
