1 What is color?
2 THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM. (We will go into more detail later but we need to establish some basic understanding here) Light isn t just white: colors is direct evidence that light has a range of energies.
3 THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM. (We will go into more detail later but we need to establish some basic understanding here) Light isn t just white: colors is direct evidence that light has a range of energies. Visible light shown through a prism is just like a rainbow in the sky (water droplets are the prism)
4 Four primary modes of LIGHT interacting with THINGS Transmission: light passes through object (refraction is type of transmission) Emission: light originates from object (it glows and sends out energy!) Reflection/Scattering: light hits object and bounces off (it s shiny if smooth, or a certain color**) Absorption: light hits object and is absorbed (energy from light goes into object, heating it)
5 In a cartoon world where color is dramatically simplified Let s pretend there is only light of three different energies: High Energy = Blue Medium Energy = Green Low Energy = Red (This is actually what computers do) All together they make WHITE LIGHT.
6 In a cartoon world where color is dramatically simplified Computer screens EMIT light (LCD), so to pop a picture of a red sweater on the screen, the computer uses RED light only:

25 Four primary modes of LIGHT interacting with THINGS Transmission: light passes through object (refraction is type of transmission) Emission: light originates from object (it glows and sends out energy!) Reflection/Scattering: light hits object and bounces off (it s shiny if smooth, or a certain color**) Absorption: light hits object and is absorbed (energy from light goes into object, heating it)
26 Shiny vs. Rough surfaces: Reflection vs. Scattering the object s apparent color is the wavelength of light it scatters or reflects most efficiently.
27 The visible light regime is only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Submillimeter! DISCUSSION: 1. Which waves travel with the fastest speed? 2. Which waves carry the most energy?
28 EARTH S ATMOSPHERE INTERACTS WITH LIGHT OF DIFFERENT WAVELENGTHS DIFFERENTLY. VISIBLE LIGHT RULES HERE. So it shouldn t be surprising that humans evolved to see visible light, since that s what available to see! But there s a MUCH wider spectrum of light emission out there (even on Earth) which we don t see.

30 Color in the human eye is determined by our cones. We have 6-7 million of them! But they group in either blue, green, or red -sensitive wavelengths I m guessing ~3 of you in this class are color-blind That typically means you only have two of the cones groupings, not all three.
31 Color in the human eye is determined by our cones. We have 6-7 million of them! But they group in either blue, green, or red -sensitive wavelengths Fun fact: the Mantis Shrimp has 16 different color-receptive cones! Highly recommend reading about it: theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp I m guessing ~3 of you in this class are color-blind That typically means you only have two of the cones groupings, not all three.
32 TOOLS FOR UNDERSTANDING THE E.-M. SPECTRUM. Light of different colors can be characterized by its energy, wavelength or frequency. we know this! the speed of light = 3x10 8 m/s c = frequency (units of inverse seconds, e.g. s -1, which is called a Hertz, 1 Hz) h = Planck s constant = 6.63x10-34 Js wavelength (units of distance, e.g. m) E = h = hc photon energy (in Joules)
33 TOOLS FOR UNDERSTANDING THE E.-M. SPECTRUM. Light of different colors can be characterized by its energy, wavelength or frequency. Wavelength Frequency Optical wavelengths run from ~4000Å to 10000Å 1Å = m 1µm = 10 6 m Frequency is measured in Hz, MHz, GHz, THz 1Hz = 1s 1 Energy E Energy is measured in Joules, or for photons, in units of electronvolts, or ev: 1eV = J
34 TOOLS FOR UNDERSTANDING THE E.-M. SPECTRUM. Light of different colors can be characterized by its energy, wavelength or frequency. Wavelength typically used for optical/near-ir regime Optical wavelengths run from ~4000Å to 10000Å 1Å = m 1µm = 10 6 m Frequency typically used for radio regime Energy E Frequency is measured in Hz, MHz, GHz, THz 1Hz = 1s 1 Energy is measured in Joules, or for photons, in units of electronvolts, or ev: typically used for X-ray regime 1eV = J

36 Multiwavelength astronomical studies: a wealth of information! Can now measure brightness as a function of position and wavelength to learn about the physics of the Universe.

38 Temperature, Blackbodies & Basic Spectral Characteristics.
39 How does temperature relate to energy? Cold things Hot things Which have more energy, or are they the same? DISCUSS.
40 Temperature is related to our perception of color because temperature is an indication of an emitting body s ENERGY. Temperature / Energy For example, temperature of a gas contained in this box is directly proportional to the sum of all of the kinetic energies of its particles (1/2 mv 2 )

52 What s the temperature of the human body? Converting Temperatures Toolbox: T C = 5 9 (T F 32) T C = T K o F = 37 o C = K 98.6 o F What wavelength of light is this?
53 Let s discuss: do you think the human body is exactly this temperature everywhere? Dr. Casey argues: Yes! We know something s not right when we measure a difference from this core temperature. We can measure that difference in our mouths, ears, and ehhem But Dr. Mann says: No! The human body has a range of temperatures all the time. That explains why our fingers, toes and ears get cold when we re outside. Who do you agree with? DISCUSS
