The dimming of starlight as it passes through the interstellar medium is called?
extinction
The interstellar medium is enriched with heavy elements by the remnants of what?
The interstellar medium is enriched with heavy elements by the remnants of supernovas. A supernova is the spectacular explosion at the end of a stars life when it collapses in on itself.
Which of these is not a consequence of dust in the interstellar medium?
red light from the emission nebula
The dust particles have exactly the same chemical composition as the gases of the interstellar medium?
false.
What is the history of strontium?
Strontium is an element it is made in stars and is blasted into the interstellar medium when stars explode. It can also be made in Human nuclear reactors.
The dimming of starlight as it passes through the interstellar medium is called?
extinction
What is the most abundant element in the interstellar medium?
Hydrogen
What is meant by the medium of a wave?
Waves need a medium to propagate themselves through. The waves generated on a pond by a falling droplet need a medium, in this case its the very water of the pond. Sound waves can propagate both though a water medium or an air medium for example. Electromagnetic waves are an exception in that they do not need a medium to propagate through (the can propagate through the void of interstellar space).

Which part of the interstellar matter produces reddening?
Visible light against electrons combined with ionized hydrogen create the "reddening" effect in the Interstellar Medium.

false.

Is air a transparent or an opaque medium?
Air is a transparent medium, because you can see through it fully. Opaque mediums are those that you cannot see through at all.
Radio waves of 21cm wavelength originate from which component of the interstellar medium?
Cold atomic hydrogen
