at any given time from a single location on a clear night? -
ANSWER-44
,A photon's___can be measured to determine its energy
- ANSWER-
wavelengths or
frequency
Which one requires more energy? Long or short waves? -
ANSWER-short
waves require more energy to
generate
A star(sun) has a surface area temperature of 50,000 kelvin, in
which region of
electromagnetic spectrum does its peak brightness
occur? - ANSWER-
Ultraviolet
Suppose I detect a star giving off more ultraviolet light than
infrared light. What property of the star can I estimate with this
infor? - ANSWER-its temperature
What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency? -
ANSWER-if the
frequency increases the wavelength
decreases
Compare frequency of x-ray versus regular light - ANSWER-
The X-ray has a
,larger frequency than
visible light.
Compare the frequency and wavelength of a gamma ray with
visible light: -
ANSWER-gamma ray frequency is higher and its
wavelength is lower
If the frequency of radiation is twice as large then its wavelength
is - ANSWER-
half as
large
Compared to blue light, red light has - ANSWER-longer
wavelength, smaller
frequency, smaller
energy

most energy. -
ANSWER-Visible light b/c humans are about
310 kelvin
Electromagnetic Radiation / Light - ANSWER-Light has some
properties of a
wave and other properties of a
particle.
- A "particle of light" is called a
photon.
Forms of light, from high-energy to low-energy:
- gamma ray > X-ray > ultraviolet (UV) > visible > infrared (IR)
> microwave >
radio(DO
ACRONYM)
high-energy light =high frequency =low / short wavelength = a
