The light from galaxy NGC 221 consists of a recognizable spectrum of wavelengths. However, all are shifted towards the shorter-wavelength end of the spectrum. In particular, the calcium “line” ordinarily observed at is observed at . Is this galaxy moving toward or away from Earth? At what speed?
If it is fundamental to nature that a given mass has a critical radius at which something extraordinary happens (i.e., a black hole forms), we might guess that this radius should depend only on mass and fundamental constants of nature. Assuming that depends only on M, G, and c, show that dimensional analysis gives the equation for the Schwarzschild radius to within a multiplicative constant.
For reasons having to do with quantum mechanics. a given kind of atom can emit only certain wavelengths of light. These spectral lines serve as a " fingerprint." For instance, hydrogen's only visible spectral lines are and . If spectra/ lines were ofabsolutely precise wavelength. they would be very difficult to discern. Fortunately, two factors broaden them: the uncertainty principle (discussed in Chapter 4) and Doppler broadening. Atoms in a gas are in motion, so some light will arrive that was emitted by atoms moving toward the observer and some from atoms moving away. Thus. the light reaching the observer will Cover a range ofwavelengths. (a) Making the assumption that atoms move no foster than their rms speed-given by , where is the Boltzmann constant. Obtain a formula for the range of wavelengths in terms of the wavelength of the spectral line, the atomic mass , and the temperature. (Note: .) (b) Evaluate this range for the hydrogen spectral line, assuming a temperature of .
Question: Two objects isolated from the rest of the universe collide and stick together. Does the system’s final kinetic energy depend on the frame of reference in which it is viewed? Does the system’s change in kinetic energy depend on the frame in which it is viewed? Explain your answer.
