1. The earth orbits around the Sun and spins on its own axis in the same sense (i.e. both clockwise or both anticlockwise)
2. A siderial day is defined as the time it takes the Earth to make a complete spin on its axis relative to distant stars
3. A solar day is defined as the time it takes the Earth to do a complete spin on its axis relative to the Sun
1. The length of a siderial day is about 4 minutes shorter than the length of a solar day
Background for i>clicker Quizzes: Siderial vs Solar Time
![Page 8: i>clicker quiz #6: Visibility of the Constellations at Different Times of the Year](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813e7c550346895da8a795/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
If the earth’s orbit around the Sun and the earth’s spin on its own axis were in opposite senses (i.e. one clockwise and one anticlockwise), which of the following would be true:
A. A siderial and solar day would be of the same length
B. A siderial day would be 4 minutes longer than a solar day
C. A siderial day would be 8 minutes longer than a solar day
D. A solar day would be 4 minutes longer than a siderial day

If the earth’s spin rate about its own axis were to slow down to half its present rate (while spinning in the same sense as its orbit around the Sun), so that the length of the day became ~48 hours, which of the following would be true:
A. A siderial and solar day would be of the same length
B. A siderial day would be 2 minutes longer than a solar day
C. A siderial day would be 8 minutes longer than a solar day
D. A solar day would be 4 minutes longer than a siderial day

• Blue light is scattered more efficiently Earth’s atmosphere
(Daytime sky looks blue.)• Red light is scattered less efficiently (setting sun looks red)
And the path of light (all colors) is bent by mass (general relativity!)
• Why does the moon appear red during a full lunar eclipse?

Kepler’s 1st Law:
All planets have elliptical orbits w/ the sun at one focus.
(Eccentricity of Earth’s path = 1.7%… nearly perfect circle.)
Kepler’s Three Laws of Planetary Motion
![Page 34: i>clicker quiz #6: Visibility of the Constellations at Different Times of the Year](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813e7c550346895da8a795/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Brief aside about ellipses:
The ellipse is completely defined by: center, the eccentricity, and the length of the semi-major axis
The focii are just geometrically defined points.The sun lies at one focus of elliptical orbit of each planet.
![Page 35: i>clicker quiz #6: Visibility of the Constellations at Different Times of the Year](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813e7c550346895da8a795/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Brief aside about ellipses:
An ellipse is defined by: center, the eccentricity, and the length of the semi-major axis
If eccentricity is 0… then the foci are at the center, and it’s a circle.

Keplers 2nd Law:
A planets sweeps out equal areas in equal times
(i.e. Moves fastest at perihelion and slowest at aphelion.)

Kepler’s 3rd Law:
The ratio of
(a planet’s average distance from the Sun)3 to (its orbital period)2
is a constant for all the planets.
distance3 = distance * distance * distance
(time to orbit)2 = (time to orbit) * (time to orbit)
Kepler’s Three Laws of Planetary Motion
A planet that is close to the Sun, completes an orbit in a shorter period of time than a planet that is farther from the Sun.

Ground State
Excited Electron States
If there is a FORCE (gravitational or electromagnetic) , there can be
STORED ENERGY.
STORE energy = go to high potential energy.RELEASE energy = “fall” back down
Key point:
The states available to electrons in atoms are
QUANTIZED
Electrons in an ATOM can only have “sit” at specific energy levels,
which are determined by the #n’s and #p’s in the nucleus..

Light = energy (sunlight feels warm!)
Energy unit: Joule Flow of energy: Watt = 1 Joule / second
The flow of energy is the rate that energy is… moving… delivered to earth
example: rate that energy is used in a lightbulb rate that energy (aka photons aka sunlight)
hits the earth from the sun

i>clicker quiz #12
• When a photon interacts with an atom, what changes occur in the atom?
A) The atomic number increases. B) The nucleus begins to glow.C) An electron changes its orbital energy.D) The photon becomes trapped, orbiting in the atom.

Light = energy (sunlight feels warm. The light that hits your skin delivers energy!)
You can think of light as WAVE or as a PARTICLE : “wave/particle duality”
a particle (i.e. a photon) --- because it acts like a “packet” of energy.
a wave --- because it moves like a wave moves (mathematically convenient)

• A wave is a pattern of motion that can carry energy without carrying matter along with it
• Wavelength = distance between two wave peaks
• Frequency = f number of times per second that a wave vibrates up and down
• Speed of light = ALWAYS the SAME
wave speed = wavelength x frequencywave speed = * f

A particle of light, a photon, is like an energy packet.
The energy carried by the photon is related to its wavelength and frequency.
photon’s energy:
Energy = [Constant] * frequency ……………goes UP if frequency goes up!
Energy = [another constant] * 1/ wavelength … goes DOWN if wavelength goes up (longer distance between peaks)

Prisms bend the path of photons according to their energy.
White light contains a continuum of energies
(wavelengths).
Our eyes are photon detectors!
Different energy photons are perceived as different COLORS

Electromagnetic Spectrum:
high energy(break down molecules, damage DNA, release e- in metals)
Moderate energies (“visible” bandpass, aka “optical” bandpass)(the amounts of energy that release electrons from atoms)
low energy(Can “shake” e-’s in metals, causing current in antennae, receivers, etc) (“radio waves” are are photons, NOT sound!)
f unit: hertz = #/sec = s-1
E=hf unit: eV (= 1.6e-19 J) or Joules

• From atoms -- electrons release photons with only certain energies– Each chemical (# p’s) has a unique set of energy levels that its
electrons can occupy. (quantized energy levels!)– Electrons can move between levels:
2- Line emission
Get energy = absorb a photon, move to a higher level
Lose energy = emit a photon, fall to a lower energy level

• If a photon A has a longer wavelength (redder) than another photon B, then photon A has ______ than photon B
– A- higher energy– B- lower energy– C- lower frequency– D- higher frequency– E- B and C

• From atoms -- electrons release photons with only certain energies– Each chemical (specific # of p’s) has a unique set of energy levels
that electrons in its atoms can occupy (quantized energy levels!)– Electrons can move between levels– Each chemical element has its own “fingerprint” of energy levels
2- Line emission

• From molecules– have additional energy levels because they can vibrate and rotate – This complicates their spectra… large numbers of vibrational and
rotational energy levels
2- Line emission
Note different appearance of single lines vs “bands” of lines.

What happens to the photon after the atom/molecule in material releases it? Answer depends DENSITY
If the material is TRANSPARENT ?then the photons can travel freely out of the matter.
… and then what? …
What is happening in this picture?What could I learn from the specific lines that I see?

What happens to the photon after the atom/molecule in material releases it? Answer depends DENSITY
If the material is OPAQUE?
then the photons bounce around, sharing their energy.They end up with a “thermalized” distribution of energies.
An analogy for “thermalized” photons (energy):
a single runner (photon)
running down an empty street:her speed is whatever she wants
moving down a crowded street:she bounces into the crowd, her speed gets closer and closer to the average speed of the people in the crowd.
… and then what? …
