Shock Waves

Shock waves are common in continuum mechanics, and their dominance is attributable to the fact that they are stronger (or even less) compressible. Substantial perturbations propagated as sudden dynamic changes of a compressible medium supersonically. Shock waves are all around us in our daily lives. Lightning, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impact all produce them in nature. Even the earth, which is protected by its magnetic field, generates a shock wave as in solar wind that travels around 20 Earth radiuses. These shock waves might be either constant, linked to the body, or unsteady, i.e., moving around with time. All of the shocks mentioned above can be damaging, so precautions must be taken to reduce their impact.

Use Wein's law to determine the wavelength corresponding to the peak of the black body curve (a) in the core of the Sun, where the temperature is 10^7, (b) in the solar convection zone (10^5), and (c) just below the solar photosphere (10^4K). What form (visible, infrared, X-ray, etc.) does radiation take in each case?
Models of the Sun indicate that only about 10% of the total hydrogen in the Sun will participate in nuclear reactions, since it is only the hydrogen in the central regions that is at a high enough temperature. Use the total energy radiated per second by the Sun, 3.81026 watts, alongside the exercises and information given here to estimate the lifetime of the Sun. (Hint: Make sure you keep track of the units: if the luminosity is the energy radiated per second, your answer will also be in seconds. You should convert the answer to something more meaningful, such as years.)

a) At solar maximum sunspots might cover up to 0.4% of the total area of the Sun.

What would be the signal in this time series which indicated that the star had a magnetic dynamo similar to the Sun? Briefly describe two or three possible sources of other signals which could confuse the interpretation of the data.

For several hundred years, astronomers have kept track of the number of solar flares, or sunspots which occur on the surface of the sun. The number of sunspots counted varies periodically from a minimum of about 10 per year to a maximum of about 110 per year. Between the maximum that occurred in the years 1750 and 1948, there were 18 completed cycles. A.) What is the period of the sunspot cycle? B.) Assume that the number of sunspots varies sinusoidally with the year. Sketch a graph of two sun spot cycles, starting in 1948. C.) Write an equation expressing the number of sunspots per year in terms of the year. D.) what is the first year after 2000 in which the number of sunspots will be about 35? A maximum?

Imagine that you are observing a star and you find the wavelength of peak emission for the star to be 400 nm. What would the wavelength of peak emission be for a new star that has a surface temperature that is a quarter of the original star? Using the same pair of stars from the first question, how does the luminosity (the energy output) of each star compare if we assume that both stars are the same size? (Please provide a specific factor or proportion) What type of radiation/light (from the electromagnetic spectrum) is each star emitting? Now imagine that we determine that the wavelength of peak emission of the original star was determined to be bluer than it should be based on other observations. Would this indicate that the star is moving towards us or away from us relatively speaking through space? (Hint: think of the Doppler effect)
What does the Wien Displacement Law (also known as Wien's Law) tell us? a) There is an inverse relation between the temperature of a thermal emitter and the wavelength where the emission peaks. b) There is a proportional relation between the temperature of a thermal emitter and the wavelength where the emission peaks. c) None of the above.
