2 AST 103 Light, Atoms, and Spectra (continued) Analyzing Spectra Prof. Ken Nagamine UNLV 2
3 Quiz Use the graph to determine which of the following best describes how Star A would appear as compared with Star B? a) Star A would appear more red than Star B. Star A visible range b) Both stars would appear more red than blue. c) Both stars would appear more blue than red. d) Star A would appear more blue than Star B. e) None of the above. Energy Output per second Star B V I B G Y O R Wavelength 3
4 Quiz Use the graph to determine which of the two stars (A or C) is at a higher temperature? a) Star A b) Star C c) The two stars have the same temperature. d) It is not possible to infer this relationship. Energy Output per second visible range Star A 8000" Star C V I B G Y O R Wavelength 4
5 What physical situation makes this spectrum? 5
6 Hot/Dense Energy Source prism Cooler low density cloud of Gas Absorption Line Spectrum 6
7 The Sun s Spectrum A hot dense core surrounded by a low density outer atmosphere 7
8 All stars produce absorption spectra 8
9 Quiz Imagine that you observe the Sun using a telescope in an orbit high above Earth s atmosphere. Which of the following spectra would you observe by analyzing the sunlight? A. absorption spectrum B. emission spectrum C. continuous spectrum D. none of the above 9
10 Energy Level Transitions The only allowed changes in energy are those corresponding to a transition between energy levels Not Allowed Allowed 10
11 Chemical Fingerprints Downward transitions produce a unique pattern of emission lines 11
12 Chemical Fingerprints Each type of atom has a unique spectral fingerprint Observing the fingerprints in a spectrum tells us which kinds of atoms are present 12

21 Consider the absorption spectra shown below for Star X and Star Z. What can you determine about the color of the two stars? Assume that the left end of each spectrum corresponds to shorter wavelengths (blue light) and that the right end of each spectrum corresponds with longer wavelengths (red light). Star X Star Z A. Star X would appear blue and Star Z would appear red. B. Star X would appear red and Star Z would appear blue. C. Both stars would appear the same color. D. The color of the stars cannot be determined from this information. 21
