Chapter 3 Radiation

Units of Chapter Information from the Skies 3.2 Waves in What? The Wave Nature of Radiation 3.3 The Electromagnetic Spectrum 3.4 Thermal Radiation The Kelvin Temperature Scale More About the Radiation Laws 3.5 The Doppler Effect Measuring Velocities with the Doppler Effect

Information from the Skies Electromagnetic radiation: Transmission of energy through space Without physical connection through varying electric and magnetic fields Example: Light

Information from the Skies Wave motion: Transmits energy without the physical transport of material

Information from the Skies Example: Water wave Water just moves up and down Wave travels and can transmit energy

Information from the Skies Frequency: Number of wave crests that pass a given point per second Period: Time between passage of successive crests Relationship: Period = 1 / Frequency

Information from the Skies Wavelength: Distance between successive crests Velocity: Speed at which crests move Relationship: Velocity = Wavelength / Period

3.1 Information from the Skies Visible spectrum:

Waves in What? Water waves, sound waves, and so on, travel in a medium (water, air, …) Electromagnetic waves need no medium Created by accelerating charged particles

Waves in What? Electromagnetic waves: Oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Changing electric field creates magnetic field, and vice versa.

Waves in What? What is the wave speed of electromagnetic waves? c = 3.0 x 10 8 m/s This speed is very large, but still finite; it can take light millions or even billions of years to traverse astronomical distances

The Wave Nature of Radiation Diffraction is purely a wave phenomenon. If light were made of particles, we would see a spot the size of the hole, with no fuzziness.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum No limit on wavelengths; different ranges have different names Note opacity of atmosphere

Thermal Radiation Blackbody spectrum: Radiation emitted by an object depending only on its temperature

Thermal Radiation Radiation Laws 1. Peak wavelength is inversely proportional to temperature (frequency is directly proportional to temperature)

Thermal Radiation Radiation Laws 2. Total energy emitted is proportional to fourth power of temperature (note height of curves)

Kelvin Temperature Scale All thermal motion ceases at 0 K Water freezes at 273 K and boils at 373 K

Doppler Effect If one is moving toward a source of radiation, the wavelengths seem shorter; if moving away, they seem longer

Doppler Effect Relationship between frequency and speed: Yuck - Math

Doppler Effect Depends only on the relative motion of source and observer

Measuring Velocities with the Doppler Effect Example: For a speed of 30 km/s, the Doppler shift is given by Yuck – More Math – Come On Mr. B.

Measuring Velocities with the Doppler Effect This may seem small, but it is easily detectable with a radar gun! Ok – This we Get !!

Summary of Chapter 3 Wave: period, wavelength, amplitude Electromagnetic waves created by accelerating charges Visible spectrum is different wavelengths of light Entire electromagnetic spectrum: radio waves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays

Can tell the temperature of an object by measuring its blackbody radiation Doppler effect can change perceived frequency of radiation Doppler effect depends on relative speed of source and observer Summary of Chapter 3 (cont.)
