EQ: WHAT IS SUNLIGHT?
2
Photon Absorption and Emission Photon Continuous stream of photons (light) emitted by energized vibrating electrons. Wavelengths of light depends on energy quantum of fall-back. Vibrating charges interact to make magnetic field too, so photons are electromagnetic (em) waves. All emitted wavelengths create em spectrum.
3
Kirchoff’s Laws
4
Emission and Absorption Line Spectrum for H Emission lines are the photons given off by specific electrons making specific fall-backs. Continuous spectrum from solar fusion Absorption lines from elements in solar “atmosphere” (photosphere and chromosphere)
5
Solar Radiation Spectral analysis of light can indicate composition, temperature, and radial velocity of celestial bodies.
6
Local Group of galaxies (45) Milky Way How did our Sun form?
7
The Solar “Furnace” Fusion occurs in the core…through the proton-proton chain reaction Star temperature and size and size response to Fg collapse and outward fusion force. H fusion at 15,000,000 K, T for He to fuse up to Fe in star cores.

Stellar evolution determined by initial mass of star
