Physics 105 Daily Exercise for Friday 3/11 (Due 3/14)
Above is a drawing of the spectrum from
an unknown object with a sketch of the intensity (energy/volume/wavelength) of
each wavelength of light above the spectrum.
- The unknown object exhibits a _________ (pick one: continuous /
bright-line emission / dark line absorption) spectrum. Therefore, the object
is _______ (pick one: a blackbody / a hot low-density gas / a blackbody with a cool
low-density gas around it).
- The object looks like it is what color?
- What is the temperature of the unknown object?
[HINT: look at page 71 of your book and use Wien's law].
Answer in the form below, a short answer for each is fine.
This report is due by 8:00 am Monday morning.
