Measurements on two stars indicate that star X has a surface temperature of 5727 °C and star Y has a surface temperature of 11727 °C. IF both stars have the same radius, what is the ratio of the luminosity(total power output) of star Y to the luminosity of the star X? Both stars can be considered to have an emissivity of 1.0.
