It examines the relationship between the effective temperatures of two stars based on the excitation of iron atoms in their photospheres. The task is to determine which equation correctly describes this relationship under the assumption of Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE). The correct answer is that the natural logarithm of 2 is equal to the difference in temperatures divided by the product of the temperatures, indicating how temperature differences relate to atomic excitation levels."}
