11. Blackbody Radiation

12. All objects emit radiation whose total intensity is proportional to the fourth power of the Kelvin temperature.

13. A blackbody is a body that would absorb all the radiation falling on it.

14. Wien’s Law

15. The Sun’s Surface Temperature Estimate the temperature of the surface of our Sun, given that the Sun emits light whose peak is in the visible spectrum at around 500 nm.

16. Star Color Suppose a star has a surface temperature of 32,500 K. What color would this star appear?

18. Energy distributed among the oscillating electric charges of the molecules is not continuous, but instead consists of a finite number of very small discrete amount, each related to the frequency of oscillation as:

19. Planck’s Quantum Hypothesis Planck’s assumption suggests that the energy of any molecular vibration could be only some whole number multiple of hf:

21. Baby-Quiz 1.Why are diffraction effects of your eyes more important during the day than at night? 2.Will the converging lens focus blue light or red light at a closer distance to the lens? Explain. 3.Assume that you have the thinnest film that strongly reflects red light. Would you need to make the film thinner or thicker to completely reflect blue light? Explain. 4.If all the labels had come off the sunglasses in the drug store, how could you tell which ones were polarized?
