Review: Kepler's Laws
1. Planets travel aound the sun in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus of the ellipse.
2. A line connecting the Sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times.
3. The square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of its semi-major axis. (P2 α a3)

Review: Newton's Laws of Motion
1. Every object continues in a state of rest or a state of uniform motion in a straight line unless acted on by a force. (Inertia)
2. F = m*a
3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newton's Law of Gravity: F =G m

Gravity and Orbits
• Throwing an object fast enough will put the object into orbit! (Neglecting air resistance)
• Moon is continually “falling” towards the Earth in its orbit (Gravity vs. inertia)

Correction to Kepler’s Third Law
Earth and sun actually rotate about their common center of mass
Corresponds to a point inside sun
Used to detect extrasolar planets

That one was complicated, because we need to remember:
Fg = G m m

So, a =G m m

Chapter 2: EM Waves
What is a wave?
What are the main properties of waves?

Waves are a type of disturbance that can propagate or travel.Waves carry information and energy.
Properties of a wave
wavelength ()
crest
amplitude (A)
velocity (v)trough
is a distance, so its units are m, cm, or mm, etc.
Period (T): time between crest (or trough) passages
Frequency (f): rate of passage of crests (or troughs), f
v = f
1T(units: Hertz or cycles/sec)

All radiation (including visible light) travels as Electromagnetic waves.
That is, waves of electric and magnetic fields travelling together.
