General Astronomy - Learning From Light
Offered By: Spahn's Science Lectures via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating world of astronomical spectroscopy in this 32-minute lecture on learning from light. Delve into various types of spectra, including continuous, emission line, and absorption line spectra, with a focus on the solar spectrum. Examine the principles of spectral analysis and the use of Bunsen burners in scientific investigations. Uncover the concepts of blackbody radiation, the relationship between temperature and color, and the Stefan-Boltzmann Law. Conclude with an exploration of the Doppler effect and its significance in astronomical observations, referencing an additional video for deeper understanding of this phenomenon.
