Which of the following correctly describes a relationship between pressure,temperature,and density in degenerate matter?
A)Pressure depends only on the temperature.
B)Pressure does not depend on temperature.
C)Temperature depends only on density.
D)Pressure does not depend on density.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In degenerate matter, pressure is strongly dependent on the density of the matter and does not need to depend on the temperature. This is because the particles in degenerate matter are in a state where they cannot occupy the same energy levels, resulting in high pressure even at low temperatures. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
