Spectroscopy Activity
•Draw the lines that you see• Make sure the # of lines, color of the lines and order is accurate
•Write a conclusion – based on your observations what can you conclude about the different materials and light you see the material produce

Warm Up #1
•Clicker Quiz •Compare conclusions from the spectroscopy activity
![Page 7: What do you think of when you look at the night sky?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568163ea550346895dd55e0f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What does a spectrum tell us?• Each chemical/atom has a unique spectrum• Like a fingerprint
• What chemicals are present

![Page 8: What do you think of when you look at the night sky?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568163ea550346895dd55e0f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How is a spectrum created?• All objects emit light• Pure light from a source• Continuous spectrum
• If light passes through gas or dust• Light absorbed• Excites/heats atoms• Emit own light• Makes an emission spectrum
• Unique

How do astronomers use spectra?• Look at light from
• Stars (gas in outer layers)• Nebula• Planets
• Determine chemical composition• Can also determine movement of object• Activity

Warm Up #2
•Why are emission spectra important?•How are emission spectrum created?•What 2 things can astronomers learn by looking at the spectrum from a star?
![Page 11: What do you think of when you look at the night sky?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568163ea550346895dd55e0f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
H-R Diagram Graphing Activity
•Look for patterns
http://www.rootstown.sparcc.org/mattjust/h-r-diagram
![Page 12: What do you think of when you look at the night sky?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568163ea550346895dd55e0f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Color and Temperature• What did you see as a pattern?• Objects give off a variety of light• Peak depends on temperature
• Peak shows most common type of light

Main Sequence Stars• Find group on H-R
diagram• Wide variety• Highest # of stars• Stars stay here the
longest• Actively fusing hydrogen
into helium• Outward pressure from
fusion• Inward pressure from gravity• Equal in these stars• Maintain size

What happens to our Sun?
• Form red giants• Fusing helium• Core collapsing• Outer layers
spread out• Cools

Warm Up #3
•What makes a star a main sequence star?
•Why does the size of the core of a main sequence star not change?
•What will eventually happen to our Sun and why?
![Page 17: What do you think of when you look at the night sky?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568163ea550346895dd55e0f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What about the fate of larger stars?• Become red supergiants
• Fuse elements larger than helium• All the way to iron
• Short lives• Supernova
• No more fusion• Core violently explodes• Fuses heavier atoms• Very bright, short time• Spreads out material
http://flightline.highline.edu/iglozman/classes/astronotes/media/2paths.jpg

What then?• Forms a neutron star• If a lower mass core• Very dense
• Not very big• Lots of gravity
• Can produce gamma and x-rays when it pulls items into it

Or…• Forms a black hole
• Higher mass cores• Infinitely dense• Need to travel faster than the speed
of light to escape• How can we see?
• Will bend light from nearby stars• See dust and gas swirling around
• Hot enough to give off x-rays
• Probably at the center of most galaxies• Including ours!
• Video

Warm Up #4• What is happening inside a red supergiant star?
• What happens in a supernova?• How is a neutron star different from a black hole?
• Why should we not be able to see a black hole?
• Why can we “see” a black hole?

Warm Up #5
•Clicker Quiz
![Page 23: What do you think of when you look at the night sky?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568163ea550346895dd55e0f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How do we know how far away that is?• Parallax effect
• Compare distant stars to nearby stars
• Measure shift as Earth orbits the Sun
• Calculate the distance• Further away = less of a shift
• Better technology = see smaller shifts = measure larger distances

Looking Back in Time• If a star is 10 light years
away• How old is the light we see
today?• Is that star still there
today?• If an alien is on a planet
10 million light years away• If they could see with the
Earth with great detail, what would they see right now?
• When we observe light from a star 2 billion light years away….what does that mean?

How has our “picture” of the universe changed?
• Greeks• Rotating spheres
• Earth centered
![Page 27: What do you think of when you look at the night sky?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568163ea550346895dd55e0f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Early Scientists
•Galileo•Copernicus•Kepler•Newton
• Mathematical laws about movement of planets
• First telescope• Calculation of gravity
• Sun centered universe
![Page 28: What do you think of when you look at the night sky?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568163ea550346895dd55e0f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

• Added a constant to his equations
• Results = static universe
• Friedmann• Russian• Removed Einstein’s constant• Universe changing shape• Won Einstein’s approval

• Priest and physicist• Universe began as a
single point• Expanded since that time
• Hubble• Astronomer• Published around same
time• Provided evidence

Warm Up #6
![Page 31: What do you think of when you look at the night sky?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568163ea550346895dd55e0f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Hubble’s Evidence - Redshift• Change in emission spectrum
• Same pattern• Shifted from where it should be
![Page 32: What do you think of when you look at the night sky?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568163ea550346895dd55e0f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Same thing happens with sound…• Doppler effect• Object moving past a stationary object• Waves get shortened in front
• Higher pitch• Waves get longer in back
• Lower pitch• Inside the source – no change
![Page 33: What do you think of when you look at the night sky?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568163ea550346895dd55e0f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
http://archive.ncsa.illinois.edu/Cyberia/Bima/doppler.html
Relating back to light…• Blue-shift
• Wavelength shortens• Moving towards us
• Red-shift• Wavelength lengthens• Moving away from us• Bigger the shift the further
away it has come from• Hubble only saw red-shifted
spectra
![Page 34: What do you think of when you look at the night sky?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568163ea550346895dd55e0f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Hubble’s Conclusions• Universe
moving away from us
• Things further away are moving away faster
• Expansion rate has
since beginning

Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation• Further evidence of the big
bang• Picture =
• Universe all same temp• Very cold• Not what we actually see
• Where else could the microwaves come from?• Extreme red-shift
• From a high energy wave• Travel long distances• Oldest light we observe• Time when universe was all the
same temp.• The Big Bang
![Page 38: What do you think of when you look at the night sky?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062222/568163ea550346895dd55e0f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Age of the Universe• Rocks on Earth
• 4.2 billion years• Oldest stars
• 10-12 billion years• Universe must be older• Estimate
backwards• 13.8 billion years

What happens next?• Big Crush
• Stops expanding• Gravity causes to crush• Repeat the process
• Big Chill• Expand at slowing rate• Get cooler as expands
• Big Rip• Expand at increasing rate• Everything gets ripped
apart

What else is out there?• Visible matter• Dark matter
• Does not give off light• Things weigh more than they should
• Dark energy• Causing the increase in expansion
rate seen in most recent data• Thus fate of the universe is…
• Big Rip
• Adding these items makes models better fit actual observations
