Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Studies using stellar models show that variable stars in the instability strip pulsate like beating hearts because of an energy-absorbing layer in their outer envelopes. This layer is the region where helium is partially ionized. Above this layer, the temperature is too low to ionize helium, and below the layer it is hot enough to ionize all of the helium. Like a spring, the helium ionization zone can absorb energy when it is compressed, and release it when the zone expands, and that is enough to keep the star pulsating.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
