The Sun Internal structure of the Sun Nuclear fusion Protons, neutrons, electrons, neutrinos Fusion reactions E = mc2 Transport of energy in the sun How do we know? Reading sections 17.1-17.2

The Sun

The Sun

Internal Structure of the Sun Core temperature 15,600,000 K, density 150 water Surface temperature 5800 K, average density 1.4 water

Nuclear burning

Nuclear burning What do all those funny symbols mean? Elementary particles Protons (orange) – found in nuclei, positive charge Neutrons (blue) – found in nuclei, no charge Electrons – orbit nuclei, negative charge Photons (g) – particles of light (gamma-rays) Positrons (b+) – anti-matter electrons, positive charge Neutrinos (n) – `ghost particles’, no charge, can easily pass through normal matter

Convert proton to neutron To convert a proton to a neutron A positron (b+) and a neutrino (n) must be produced and released

Make nuclei out of protons and neutrons 1H = normal hydrogen nucleus = proton 2H = deuterium hydrogen nucleus (unstable) = proton plus neutron (in heavy water) 3He = light helium nucleus (unstable( = two protons plus one neutron 4He = normal helium nucleus = two protons plus two neutrons

Nuclear burning

Nuclear burning OK, so you turn 4 hydrogen nuclei into on helium nucleus, but why do you get energy out? One helium nucleus has less mass than 4 hydrogen nuclei by about 0.1%, and E = mc2

E = mc2 Einstein showed that mass and energy are equivalent (c = speed of light) Mass can be converted to energy, and Energy can be converted to mass The Sun is powered by the conversion of mass into energy So are nuclear reactors and nuclear bombs

Internal Structure of the Sun

Transport of energy through the radiative zone It takes about 200,000 years for photons made in the core to make it through the radiative zone

Convective zone

Do the following transport energy by convection or radiation? A gas oven A microwave A heat lamp An electric radiator

How do we know? Core temperature 15,600,000 K, density 150 water Surface temperature 5800 K, average density 1.4 water

How do we know?

We see the neutrinos Neutrinos don’t bounce around like photons, come straight out. Neutrinos are only produced in nuclear reactions. Ray Davis shared the 2002 Nobel prize in Physics for originally detecting neutrinos from the Sun.
