Light & Matter Light tells us about matter
Almost all the information we receive from space is in the form of light.
The light can tell us the conditions of objects in space – temperature, composition, motions, etc.
Light has many strange properties which stretch our ideas of what is “real.”

Light: Wave or Particle? Light can be both like waves and like
particles (photons) The particle picture is helpful when thinking
about how light is absorbed and emitted The wave picture is best for describing how
light gets from one place to another

Light as a Wave Light is a wave of electric and magnetic
fields – electromagnetic (EM) wave The wavelength (λ) is the length between
crests of the wave The frequency (f) is the number of waves that
pass by each second Different types of light (visible, infrared) have
different wavelengths

water Wavelength and frequency are related:

Light as a particle “Photons”
Little packets of energy Atoms can absorb or emit Photons can carry different
amounts of energy High energy
short wavelength high frequency
Low energy long wavelength low frequency

Atoms & Light Neils Bohr
Electrons surround/orbit nucleus can have certain energies;
other energies are not allowed. Each type of atom (carbon, oxygen,
etc.) has a unique set of energies. A good way to represent the energies
is with an energy level diagram.

Emitted Light All objects emit light (or EM radiation)
What kind depends on temperature and state (solid or gas)
Light carries off energy Rate of loss is called luminosity
![Page 26: Light Solar System Astronomy Chapter 4. Light & Matter Light tells us about matter Almost all the information we receive from space is in the form of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d035503460f949d64b0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Energy Balance Planet’s temperature is a balance
Energy absorbed from sun Energy emitted from planet
From temperature Temperature is a measure of heat radiated
Balance is example of thermal equilibrium Very important concept in many areas of
astrophysics

Temperature All atoms are constantly in thermal motion
Temperature is a measure of average speed (kinetic energy) of atomic motion
Measure in Kelvin Water freezes/boils 273 K/373 K Minimum possible 0 K Sun is 5800 K (10,000˚ F)

More temperature is more motion More pressure increases motion and
temperature
Temperature & pressure are CLOSELY linked

Blackbody Radiation Dense objects emit radiation
Blackbody radiation Thermal radiation Continuous radiation/spectrum
For two objects of same size Hotter emits more light at all wavelengths Emit more total energy per second (higher
luminosity) More of the radiation is at shorter wavelengths

Some light is emitted at all wavelengths Often a negligible amount
Little very short or very long wavelengths There is a peak wavelength

inverse-square law Actual temperature depends on how well
planet absorbs incoming light albedo
