1
Actual samples from spacespace Particle accelerators Telescopes ◦ All wavelengths of light
2
Energy Electromagnetic wave ◦ Can travel without a medium (matter) ◦ Transverse waves
3
Electromagnetic spectrum ◦ All travel at the speed of light (3x10 8 m/s) ◦ Vary in wavelength and frequency
4
Which set of “hills” takes more energy to run? High energy ◦ Short wavelength ◦ High frequency ◦ Large amplitude
5
Really Muscular Idiots Ultra X-treme Grannies Visualize
6
Used for: Standard form to scientific notation ◦ 45,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ◦ 0.00000000005604 Scientific notation to standard form ◦ 9.807 x 10 12 ◦ 2.11 x 10 -6
7
7. Describe two different ways that all forms of light are similar. 8. Draw a transverse wave and label a crest, trough, wavelength and amplitude. 9. Draw a wave with a very high amount of energy. 10. What makes electromagnetic waves unique?
8
Radio Microwave Infrared Visible Ultraviolet X-ray Gamma
9
What do you think of when you look at the night sky? http://www.astro.ufl.edu/~lada/ast3018/lectures/ast3018lecturestarform.pdf
10
Greeks ◦ Rotating spheres ◦ Earth centered
11
Galileo Copernicus Kepler Newton Mathematical laws about movement of planets First telescope Calculation of gravity Sun centered universe
12
Einstein ◦ Calculations ◦ Universe changing size ◦ Disbelieved Added a constant to his equations Results = static universe Friedmann ◦ Russian ◦ Removed Einstein’s constant ◦ Universe changing shape ◦ Won Einstein’s approval http://wouterdeheij.wordpress.com/2013/04/27/famous-innovation-quotes-from-steve-jobs-gunter-pauli-einstein-henry-ford-and-many-others/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Aleksandr_Fridman.png
13
Lemaitre ◦ Priest and physicist ◦ Universe began as a single point ◦ Expanded since that time Hubble ◦ Astronomer ◦ Published around same time ◦ Provided evidence from observing spectra
14
All objects emit light Pure light from a source ◦ Continuous spectrum If light passes through gas or dust ◦ Light absorbed ◦ Excites/heats atoms ◦ Emit own light ◦ Makes an emission spectrum https://www.cfa.harvard.edu /~jbattat/a35/cont_abs_em. html
15
Each chemical/atom has a unique spectrum ◦ Like a fingerprint http://www.umsl.edu/~physics/Lab%20Connection/Electricity%20and%20Magnetism%20Lab/12-lab13.html
16
Determine chemical composition Can also determine movement of object http://www.eso.org/public/outreach/eduoff/cas/cas2004/casreports-2004/rep-236/
17
Draw the lines that you see ◦ Make sure the # of lines, color of the lines and order is accurate Write a conclusion – based on your observations what can you conclude about the different materials and light you see the material produce
18
11. How is an emission spectrum created? 12. What can we learn from emission spectra? 13. Who is credited with having discovered the Big Bang theory and what is the Big Bang theory? 14. If you were Einstein, would have made the same decision about changing his equations to fit his personal belief? Why or why not?
19
Change in emission spectrum ◦ Same pattern ◦ Shifted from where it should be
20
Doppler effecteffect Object moving past a stationary objectobject Waves get shortened in front ◦ Higher pitch Waves get longer in back ◦ Lower pitch Inside the source – no change
21
http://archive.ncsa.illinois.edu/Cyberia/Bima/doppler.html Blue-shift ◦ Wavelength shortens ◦ Moving towards us Red-shift ◦ Wavelength lengthens ◦ Moving away from us ◦ Bigger the shift the further away it has come from ◦ Hubble only saw red- shifted spectra
22
https://www.e-education.psu.edu/astro801/book/export/html/1967 Universe moving away from us Things further away are moving away faster Expansion rate has since beginning
23
Further evidence of the big bang Picture = ◦ Universe all same temp ◦ Very cold ◦ Not what we actually see Where else could the microwaves come from? ◦ Extreme red-shift From a high energy wave ◦ Travel long distances ◦ Oldest light we observe ◦ Time when universe was all the same temp. The Big Bang
24
Used by scientists and all but 3 countries Based on 10….so much easier
