| What are the ratios of the effective temperatures of the components of an eclipsing variable star if the primary minimum is 2 times higher than the secondary minimum (in intensities)? The sizes of the stars are the same.
According to the Stefan – Boltzmann law, the ratio of the effective temperatures of stars is 4√2.
