Review for Midterm 1
... How are emission, absorption, and continuous spectra created? What can the spectrum of a star tell us about the star? What else can we learn from spectra? What does the energy of a photon depend on? What is the sun mostly made of; how do we know? What are the different types of light? 3. Births of s ...

... How was the Solar System formed? The Solar System is about 4.6 billion years old. It was formed from a nebula – an enormous cloud of dust and gas created when a dying star exploded. When shockwaves from other dying stars hit the nebula, it collapsed and formed a globule. Over millions of years, the ...

... Polarized Light: Light normally has its electric field vibrating in all directions which are perpendicular to the direction of travel. In other words, light traveling north could have its e-field vibrating up-down, or east west, or any diagonal combination of those. Take a minute to actually point n ...
