The star signal power does not depend on __________

A)
Brightness of the star
B)
Spectral irradiance of stellar light
C)
Size of the star
D)
Spectral response of the light detector

Correct Answer :   Size of the star


Explanation : Star signal power is the effective area of the telescope times the irradiance of the star. It depends on the spectral irradiance of the stellar light, the spectral response of the light detector, and the brightness of the star.
