Doppler Shifts• Red Shift: The object is moving away from the
observer• Blue Shift: The object is moving towards the
observer
/o = v/c
= wavelength shift
o = wavelength if source is not movingv = velocity of sourcec = speed of light

Blackbody Definition• Does not reflect incoming radiation, only
absorbs• Emits radiation, depending on temperature• Temperature and emitted radiation
intensity follow a special relationship
Photon enters
If hole is very small, what is probability that it exits?
One way of creating a blackbody

• Blackbodies do not always appear black!
–The sun is close to being a “perfect” blackbody
–Blackbodies appear black only if their temperature very low

Blackbody Laws• Stefan-Boltzmann Law – relates
energy output of a blackbody to its temperature
• Wein’s law – relates peak wavelength output by a blackbody to its temperature
![Page 14: Lecture 8 ASTR 111 – Section 002. Outline Quiz Discussion Light –Suggested reading: Chapter 5.3-5.4 and 5.9 of textbook Optics and Telescopes –Suggested](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102819/56649e995503460f94b9c163/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Wien’s law and the Stefan-Boltzmann law are useful tools for
analyzing glowing objects like stars
• A blackbody is a hypothetical object that is a perfect absorber of electromagnetic radiation at all wavelengths
• Stars closely approximate the behavior of blackbodies, as do other hot, dense objects
• The intensities of radiation emitted at various wavelengths by a blackbody at a given temperature are shown by a blackbody curve

Stefan-Boltzmann Law
• A blackbody radiates electromagnetic waves with a total energy flux F directly proportional to the fourth power of the Kelvin temperature T of the object:
4~ TF

Overall amplitude increases with Temperature
At high wavelengths, intensity goes to zero
As wavelength goes to zero, intensity goes to zero
Wavelength of peak decreases as temperature increases

• Can this figure help us explain?
Near this temperature, this special combination of intensities is what we call white. Also, the realcurve is a little flatter near the peak
![Page 28: Lecture 8 ASTR 111 – Section 002. Outline Quiz Discussion Light –Suggested reading: Chapter 5.3-5.4 and 5.9 of textbook Optics and Telescopes –Suggested](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102819/56649e995503460f94b9c163/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Sun does not emit radiation with intensities that exactly follow the blackbody curve
![Page 29: Lecture 8 ASTR 111 – Section 002. Outline Quiz Discussion Light –Suggested reading: Chapter 5.3-5.4 and 5.9 of textbook Optics and Telescopes –Suggested](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102819/56649e995503460f94b9c163/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• If “white” was actually defined by the ideal blackbody curve, we could add a little green to white

![Page 31: Lecture 8 ASTR 111 – Section 002. Outline Quiz Discussion Light –Suggested reading: Chapter 5.3-5.4 and 5.9 of textbook Optics and Telescopes –Suggested](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102819/56649e995503460f94b9c163/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
So, what color is the sun in space?
Add a little green to white background by makingsolid green square mostly transparent
![Page 32: Lecture 8 ASTR 111 – Section 002. Outline Quiz Discussion Light –Suggested reading: Chapter 5.3-5.4 and 5.9 of textbook Optics and Telescopes –Suggested](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102819/56649e995503460f94b9c163/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• If “white” was actually defined by the ideal blackbody curve, this would (sort of) make sense.
• What we call white is actually not the ideal blackbody curve. See http://casa.colorado.edu/~ajsh/colour/Tspectrum.html

What happens, a, b, or c?
• As a beam of light passes from one transparent medium into another—say, from air into glass, or from glass back into air—the direction of the light can change
• This phenomenon, called refraction, is caused by the change in the speed of light
