Let me give you some clues. 

If you describe water as being "salty," wouldn't it have a high concentration of salt? Most likely. By the same token, a blue star will have a high concentration of what color of light? 

With this in mind, wouldn't the intensity of the wavelength's emitted by the blue star be highest around the blue spectrum of light? (intensity can be paralleled to concentration.)

hmmm...

this has to do with stars in space though

anonymous · Answer

I'm aware. I'm trying to put it into more tangible terms.

anonymous · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

what about the yellow star?

anonymous · Answer

The yellow is the same idea. Notice where the intensity line is maximum.
