2. 5-1 How we measure the speed of light 5-2 How we know that light is an electromagnetic wave 5-3 How an object’s temperature is related to the radiation it emits 5-4 The relationship between an object’s temperature and the amount of energy it emits 5-5 The evidence that light has both particle and wave aspects 5-6 How astronomers can detect an object’s chemical composition by studying the light it emits 5-7 The quantum rules that govern the structure of an atom 5-8 The relationship between atomic structure and the light emitted by objects 5-9 How an object’s motion affects the light we receive from that object nature of light By reading this chapter, you will learn

3. Determining the Speed of Light Galileo Fizeau and Foucalt (1850) d=rt again gave c Olaus Rømer (1676)

4. I. Newton - particle-like properties C. Huygen – wave nature Young’s Double-Slit Experiment – wave like properties (1801)

5. James Clerk Maxwell (1860s) wave nature: electromagnetism Because of its electric and magnetic properties, light is also called electromagnetic radiation Visible light falls in the 400 to 700 nm range Stars, galaxies and other objects emit light in all wavelengths

6. electromagnetic radiation around you

7. Three Temperature Scales See box 5-1 (pg. 105) Temperature conversion T f = 9/5 T c +32 T c = 5/9 (T f -32) T K = T c + 273

8. How are you doing? 1.Who was the first person to come up with a method to measure a reasonable value of speed of light? 2.Huygen’s idea of light was light as _____, which was different from Newton’s view of light. A) particle, b) wave, c) part of electromagnetic radiation, d) photons of various energy level 3.Light part of electromagnetic radiation. What type of electromagnetic radiation is high energy? A) radio wave, b) visible light, c) Ultraviolet, d) infrared, e) gamma ray

9. Put the following color in the order of cooler to hotter: Yellow, Red, Orange, Blue, white

10. Black body radiation Wien’s law max ~ 1/Temp Stefan-Boltzmann law Luminosity ~ T 4 Planck’s law E ~1/ This is the method we used to determine the surface temperature of the sun. @1AU, we receive 1370W /m 2

11. Each chemical element produces its own unique set of spectral lines

12. Kirchhoff’s Laws

16. Doppler effect Red Shift: The object is moving away from the observer Blue Shift: The object is moving towards the observer
