Q: What is the typical radius of an HII region? Express your answer in both meters and parsecs. Recall 1 pc = 3.08 x 10^(16) meters. 1/3 1/3 [ 3 * 10^(49) photon/s ] ( 1 ) R = [ -------------------------- ] ( ----------------- ) [ 4 * pi * 10^(7) per m^3 ] ( 2.5 x 10^(11) s ) = 3.9 x 10^(17) m = 13 pc
