What is Light?• Light is a form of Electro Magnetic Radiation that travels in
waves• All EMR’s travel at 300,000 Km/sec (186,000 mi/sec) - The
Speed of Light!
• EMR’s are measured in wavelengths– Which is the distance from one
crest to the next• EMR’s are arranged into the electromagnetic spectrum

• Electromagnetic Spectrum is arranged from short wavelength’s to long wavelength’s
• High frequency = short wavelength’s
• Stars emit a wide range of energies

• White light is actually color of rainbow
• Light passes through a prism and is refracted (bent) into visible spectrum
• Astronomers use spectra to learn about distant stars

• Spectral Types (Kirchhoff’s spectral laws)– Use pg 614 in book and write in information for Homework!
1. Continuous spectrum – unbroken color band created by a luminous solid or liquid, and hot compressed gases
2. Bright line spectrum (Emission Spectra)– form chemical elements in the gaseous state that are luminous. Each element has a unique bright line spectra.
3. Dark line spectrum (Absorption Spectra)– form when light of a continuous spectrum passes through a cooler gas. Gas absorbs same wavelengths it would emit if it were hotter.

Spectroscopy• Science dealing with the analysis of the spectrum of
light.
• Astronomical applications:
– 1. Element composition of stars
– 2. Temperatures of stars
– 3. Relative motion of stars

Doppler effect • the apparent change in the wavelength of light that
occurs when an object is moving toward or away from the earth.
• Star Movement
– Red Shift – Spectrum of an object that is moving away from the earth.
– Blue shift – spectrum of an object moving toward earth

• Emission spectrum of hydrogen
Redshift: This spectrum shows hydrogen shifted to the red end of the spectrum. This star is moving away from Earth.
Blueshift: This spectrum shows hydrogen shifted to the blue end of the spectrum. This star is moving toward Earth.
