Students have asked these similar questions
If a photon has a given wavelength (units of m), how do I calculate its energy in units of joules?
Give explanation
As an object is heated, the peak in its thermal emission spectrum may shift out of the visible part of the spectrum. Does this make the object invisible? Why or why not?
Provide two words as an answer.
What two entities comprise the visible spectrum?

- Go outside on a clear night, wait 15 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the dark, and look carefully at the brightest stars. Some should look slightly red and others slightly blue. The primary factor that determines the color of a star is its temperature. Which is hotter: a blue star or a red one? Explainarrow_forwardA blue-hot star is about twice as hot as a red-hot star. But the temperatures of the gases in advertising signs are about the same, whether they emit red or blue light. What is your explanation?arrow_forwardWho was the first person to obtain the spectrum of sunlight?arrow_forward
- What are the fundamental properties of light, such as wavelength, frequency, and speed? How do these properties relate to the electromagnetic spectrum?arrow_forwardPlease answer the question about light and color: Which line is easier to see under red light, the red or the black line? Why? What makes red ink appear red? When red ink is illumined by blue light, is most of the light absorbed or reflected? When illumined with red light, why is red ink on white paper more difficult to see than black ink?arrow_forwardSuppose you are working with a photosensitive material that you know is sensitive to green light, but you do not know whether it is sensitive to any other colors. If you must work with the material in some kind of light that you can see, what would be more likely to damage the material, red light of high intensity, or purple light of low intensity?arrow_forward
- What gives rise to spectral lines? What is happening within an atom that causes it to emite light in specific lines in a spectrum?arrow_forwardWhat is ultraviolet light?arrow_forwardWhich produces a shorter wavelength of light: an electron jumping from a hydrogen atom’s 6th energy level to its 2nd energy level, or one jumping from the 3rd to the 2nd energy level? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- Why Sun is Yellow?arrow_forwardFor each light source, determine which part of the spectrum of visible light is predominant:Fluorescent Light – LED Light –Incandescent Light – Candle Light –Daylight -arrow_forwardA distant star has a peak wavelength of 0.00000077. What is the temperature of that star?arrow_forward
