An idealized radiating object does not reflect or scatter any radiation but instead absorbs all of electromagnetic energy that falls on it. can you explain why astronomers call such an object a blackbody? keep in mind that even stars, which shine brightly in a variety of colours, are considered blackbodies. Explain why?

- What are the differences between light waves and sound waves?arrow_forwardIntegrated Tutorial In a science fiction story, a major character pilots his own spacecraft, which is propelled by a stellar sail. As shown in the figure (not drawn to scale) a stellar sail is a large reflecting sheet attached to a spacecraft, much like an ordinary cloth sail is attached to a boat. Light from the star reflects off the sail, exerting a force on the sail. In the story, the spacecraft is small, and the single passenger sits in a small capsule. The trip is a short one, and there are no facilities in the capsule for rest, exercise, or nourishment. So we estimate the mass of the spacecraft, including the passenger and the stellar sail, to be m = 7000 kg. We further estimate the area of the stellar sail to be A = 8000 m2. Say that the mass of the star is M = 8 M, and its luminosity is L = 2170 Le, where the subscript o stands for the Sun. The mass of the Sun and its luminosity are 1.99 x 1030 kg and 3.84 x 1026 w, respectively.

When you see an object, you're either seeing the light it made/created by itself, or the light that bounced off of it (reflected) that came from somewhere else. a) List some examples of objects that make their own light in the room you're in. List what color of light you see for each object. b) List some examples of objects that you see because they reflect light in your room. List the colors of light that you see for each object. c) For each example for part b: where is the light that reflects originally coming from?

- Visible light falls into wavelength ranges of 400-700 nm, for which 1 m=1×109 nm The energy and wavelength of light are related by the equationE=hcλ where E is energy in Joules, h is Planck's constant ( 6.626×10−34 J-s ), c is the speed of light ( 2.998×108 m/s), and λ is the wavelength in m. If a visible light photon has a wavelength of 632.3 nm, what is the energy of the photon (in J)?arrow_forwardDetermine the frequency of red visible light (λ = 650 nm) (GIVEN: 1 m = 10⁹ nm) Answer: Tip: To enter scientific notation, use "e".

He noticed that the time between observed eclipses became shorter as Jupiter came closer to the Earth and longer as Jupiter moved away. Rømer calculated that the eclipses were observed 17 minutes earlier when Jupiter was in opposition compared to when it was close to conjunction. This was attributed by Rømer to the finite speed of light. From Rømer’s data, compute the speed of light, first inAU min−1, and then inm s−1.arrow_forward
