Takeaway Message:• YOU NEED TO STUDY MORE
• you need to come to class EVERY DAY (TPS questions will NOT be posted on the website)
• almost NOBODY is coming to office hours, if you do not understand something, come ask us
• several of the questions were same/similar to those in your lecture tutorials and think-pair-share questions, make sure you understand these!!! go to office hours, look over questions later, discuss them with classmates outside of class. In short, you will have to STUDY OUTSIDE OF CLASS
• future tests will be just as hard (if not harder)
• There will be opportunity for extra credit, but you will have to be in class to get it

Recap: Blackbody CurveThe peak of the
blackbody curve tells you temperature
The overall height of the blackbody curve tells you Luminosity
Luminosity depends on Temperature and
Size

So by observing a star’s energy output as a function of wavelength we can determine its temperature What else can we find out about stars by looking at their light?composition (i.e. what its made of): how?

An atom consists of a small, dense
nucleus (containing protons and neutrons)
surrounded by electrons Model
Proposed by Niels Bohr
1913
Bohr model of Atom
![Page 7: Light III The Atom & Spectra](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020703/61fb47452e268c58cd5c4773/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A nucleus is about 10-15 m in size and the first electron orbits out at 10-10 m
from the center of the atom – The size of the electron
orbit is 100,000 times greater than
the size of the nucleus
Atoms are mostly empty space
![Page 8: Light III The Atom & Spectra](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020703/61fb47452e268c58cd5c4773/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
So if a nucleus the size of an orange
(10 cm) was located at the center of the football field,
where would the electron be?
End Zone?Grandstands?On Campus?In Tucson?
![Page 9: Light III The Atom & Spectra](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020703/61fb47452e268c58cd5c4773/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
If the electron’s orbit is 100,000
times bigger than the nucleus then the electron would be 10,000 m or 6.21 miles away from the center of the Football Field!
Still in Tucson, up in the foothills shopping
at La Encantada!!

Nucleus
Nucleus contains Protons and Neutrons
“Ground” state is lowest energy state
other states are called “excited” states
Energy levels become more closely spaced further from the nucleus

Nucleus
Electrons orbit the nucleus on energy levels
Electron
These energy levels are fixed and discrete
![Page 12: Light III The Atom & Spectra](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020703/61fb47452e268c58cd5c4773/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Photons (light-waves) are emitted from an atom when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower
energy level

Photons (light-waves) can also be absorbed by an atom when an electron moves from a lower energy level to a
higher energy level

Each chemical element produces its own unique set of spectral lines when it is excited

We will study three types of spectra!!!
Continuous Spectrum
Hot/Dense Energy Source prism
Emission Line Spectrum

Absorption Line SpectrumCooler low density cloud of Gas

The type of spectrum given off depends on the objects involved
Law #1 – The excited atoms within a hot dense object give off light of all colors (wavelengths) and produce a continuous spectrum -- a complete rainbow of colors (range of wavelengths) without any spectral lines.
*Note: although I have only drawn visible light, this is for *all* forms of light

Law #2 – The excited atoms within a hot, cloud of gas give off only particular colors (wavelengths) of light and produce an emission line spectrum - a series of bright spectral lines against a dark background.
The type of spectrum given off depends on the objects involved

Law #3 – When the light from a hot dense object passes through a cool cloud of gas, the atoms within the cloud can absorb particular colors (wavelengths) of light and produce a absorption line spectrum - a series of dark spectral lines among the colors of the rainbow.

Atoms & Spectra• Spectra occur because atoms
absorb and emit photons with only certain wavelengths
• Electrons have discrete energy states
![Page 25: Light III The Atom & Spectra](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020703/61fb47452e268c58cd5c4773/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Atom & Spectra
• This is the spectrum of the Sun
• Dark features are absorption lines
• Tell us about composition of the Sun
• The Sun has a hot dense core surrounded by a lower density atmosphere

• Work with a partner!• Read the instructions and questions carefully.• Discuss the concepts and your answers with one another.
Take time to understand it now!!!!• Come to a consensus answer you both agree on.• If you get stuck or are not sure of your answer, ask
another group.

What can we learn by analyzing starlight?
• A star’s temperature• A star’s chemical composition
