Jump to 12 multiple choice question What was the major shortcoming in the classical prediction of blackbody radiation that led us to the idea of quantization of light (light treated as particles)? A. Classical theory failed to explain radiations altogether. B. Classical theory failed to explain the absorption of light by any blackbody. C. Classical theory failed to explain the emission of radiation by any blackbody. 5 6 7 8 9 10 E. None of the above. D. Classical theory failed to explain the experimental results of blackbody radiation and predicted a rapid increase in the intensity with frequency of light causing ultraviolet catastrophe.
Stellar evolution
We may see thousands of stars in the dark sky. Our universe consists of billions of stars. Stars may appear tiny to us but they are huge balls of gasses. Sun is a star of average size. Some stars are even a thousand times larger than the sun. The stars do not exist forever they have a certain lifetime. The life span of the sun is about 10 billion years. The star undergoes various changes during its lifetime, this process is called stellar evolution. The structure of the sun-like star is shown below.
Red Shift
It is an astronomical phenomenon. In this phenomenon, increase in wavelength with corresponding decrease in photon energy and frequency of radiation of light. It is the displacement of spectrum of any kind of astronomical object to the longer wavelengths (red) side.
