An idealized radiating object does not reflect or scatter any radiation but instead absorbs all of the electromagnetic energy that falls on it. Can you explain why astronomers call such an object a blackbody? Keep in mind that even stars, which shine brightly in a variety of colors, are considered blackbodies. Explain why.
Which statement about wavelength and energy of light is correct? O Wavelength of light is inversely proportional to energy (i.e. shorter wavelengths have more energy). O Wavelength of light is proportional to energy (i.e. shorter wavelengths have less energy). O There's no way for anyone to tell for sure. O Wavelength of light is not related to its enerty
Which of the ff. absorption maxima is in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum? a.) 510 nm b.) 240 nm c.) 800 nm
Question A4 The spectrum of a sun-like star is observed and a spectral absorption feature at wavelength X = 590 nm is found to vary sinusoidally in wavelength with an amplitude Aλ = ±1 × 10-4 nm and a period of 3 days. Assuming that this variation is due to the presence of an unseen orbiting planet, obtain an estimate for the minimum mass of the planet and express your answer in units of the Earth's mass. State clearly any approximations or assumptions that are made when obtaining the estimate.
Using Rayleigh-Jean's Law, compute radiant energy intensity (p) for the following conditions: W/m³ a. λ = 450 nm, T = 3500 K: b. = 604 nm, T = 1250 K: c. 2564 nm, T = 2500 K: W/m³ W/m³ d. What is the rough color of the light under the most intense radiant energy condition above? O green red O violet O blue
The surface temperature of the naked-eye star Capella (in constellation Auriga) is approximately 4,700 degrees Celsius.a) What is the peak frequency (in hertz) and wavelength (in metres AND nanometres) of Capella’s emitted light?b) If you were to look at Capella in the night sky, what colour would you expect it to appear? Why would you expect this colour?
How do light and matter interact? There are 4 ways: Emission, Absorption, Transmission (transparent objects transmit light. Opaque objects block/absorb light), and Reflection/scattering What are the main/basic definitions and differences of these in reference to interactions of light with matter? My professor had given an example using a picture that had a house, a man standing in it with furniture, snow outside, a tree, and the sun. He pointed out the different colors and how they related to these terms but he was very quick and I don't feel like I understand how each of these things can be distinguished.
Determine the ratio RA of the force exerted by the sun on the moon to that exerted by the earth on the moon for position A of the moon. Repeat for position B. AO Answers: RA = Rg= i i B Sunlight
Draw an energy level diagram that shows the different scattering process that can take place during Raman spectroscopy and give a mathematical expression for the energy of each. d)
If a horseshoe is heated in a blacksmith's furnace until it glows blue/white. Does the mass of the horseshoe change? If so, explain how and why. b) If a spring is stretched to twice its equilibrium length, has the spring's mass been altered in the process? If so, explain how and why.
