What helps us understand space? • Actual samples from space • Particle accelerators • Telescopes • All wavelengths of light
What is Light? • Energy • Electromagnetic wave • Can travel without a medium (matter) • Transverse waves
Many Types of Light • Electromagnetic spectrum • All travel at the speed of light (3x108 m/s) • Vary in wavelength and frequency
Types and Uses • Radio • Microwave • Infrared • Visible • Ultraviolet • X-ray • Gamma
Energy in Waves • Which set of “hills” takes more energy to run? • High energy • Short wavelength • High frequency • Large amplitude
Really Muscular Idiots Visualize Ultra X-treme Grannies
Scientific Notation • Used to write really BIGor small numbers easily. • For example... 100000000000000000000000stars in the universe Easier… 1 x 1024 stars in the universe That means 1 followed by 24 zeros.
The Better Way • How can we use this for all numbers? Earth to Pluto – 4,670,000,000 miles - There are 9 numbers after the 4 so… 109 - Since the non-zero numbers are 467… 4.67 x 109
Standard form to scientific notation • 7,345 • 0.000007 • Can you go backwards? Scientific notation to standard form • 9.807 x 1012 • 2.11 x 10-6

Spectroscopy Activity Draw the lines that you see • Make sure the # of lines, color of the lines and order is accurate Write a conclusion – based on your observations, what can you conclude about the different materials and light you see the material produce?
How is a spectrum created? • All objects emit light • Pure light from a source • Continuous spectrum • If light passes through gas or dust • Light absorbed • Excites/heats atoms • Emit own light • Makes an emission spectrum • Unique https://www.cfa.harvard.edu/~jbattat/a35/cont_abs_em.html
What does a spectrum tell us? • Each chemical or atom has a unique spectrum. • Like a fingerprint • What chemicals are present http://www.umsl.edu/~physics/Lab%20Connection/Electricity%20and%20Magnetism%20Lab/12-lab13.html
How do astronomers use spectra? • Look at light from • Stars (gas in outer layers) • Nebula • Determine chemical composition • Can also determine movement of object http://www.eso.org/public/outreach/eduoff/cas/cas2004/casreports-2004/rep-236/

Warm Up #2 • Why are emission spectra important? • How are emission spectrum created? • What 2 things can astronomers learn by looking at the spectrum from a star?
Hubble’s Evidence - Redshift • Change in emission spectrum • Same pattern • Shifted from where it should be
Relating back to light… • Blue-shift • Moving towards us • Wavelength shortens • Red-shift • Moving away from us • Wavelength lengthens • Bigger the shift the further away it has come from • Hubble only saw red-shifted spectra http://archive.ncsa.illinois.edu/Cyberia/Bima/doppler.html
Hubble’s Conclusions • Universe moving away from us • Things further away are moving away faster • Expansion rate has since beginning https://www.e-education.psu.edu/astro801/book/export/html/1967
Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation • Further evidence of the big bang • Picture = • Universe all same temp • Very cold • Not what we actually see • Where else could the microwaves come from? • Extreme red-shift • From a high energy wave • Travel long distances • Oldest light we observe • Time when universe was all the same temp. • The Big Bang
“Why do we use/have to learn about the Metric System?” • Scientists need a universal way to communicate data. • 195 countries in the world use metric system. 3 don’t. • Other countries’ companies are refusing to buy products from the U.S.A. if they are not labeled in metric units.
Who do we think we are? United states Myanmar Liberia
“What does the Metric System measure?” • Length - meters, m • Mass– grams, g • Volume - liters, L • Time- seconds, s • Temperature - Celsius, ºC
Metric Conversion (Staircase Method) To convert to a smaller unit, move decimal point to the right Kilo (k) 1000 units Hecto(h) 100 units Deka(da) 10 units Basic Unit (m, g, L) Deci (d) 0.1 units Centi (c) 0.01 units Milli (m) 0.001 units To convert to a larger unit, move decimal point to the left
For example… 7000 mg = ____ g Kilo (k) 1000 units Hecto (h) 100 units Deka (dk) 10 units Basic Unit (m, g, L) Deci (d) 0.1 units Centi (c) 0.01 units Milli (m) 0.001 units Step 1: Determine if you are going to go up or down the staircase. Step 2: Determine how many steps there are from milligrams to grams. Step 3: Move the decimal that many places.
