What does ROY G. BIV stand for?

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum does it come from?

Students will use the Wavelength and Frequency to describe the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

Objective Warm-Up

1. What happens to white light as it passes through a prism?

2. Thinking back to last class, Red stars would be _____(hotter/cooler) than blue stars and have a (longer/shorter) wavelength indicating a (higher or lower) frequency.

Students will use the characteristics of stars (know) in order to explain how stars are classified(do).

Characteristics of Stars

PARALLAX:

Apparent change in position of a star caused by a change in position of the observer on Earth;

Closer stars appear to shift, farther stars don’t (finger trick)

Distance of Stars

Distance light travels in one year. speed=310,000 km/sec

(~7X’s around the earth);

1 light year = ~9.5 trillion km

Light YearLets see how fast light travels compared to other things….

Hertsprung-Russell Diagram

Most stars are Main Sequence

Star, including our Sun!

H-R Diagram:

Shows the relationship between temperature and brightness

Plots the life cycle of a star along with color and brightness.

What property is along the x-axis of the H-R diagram?

What property is along the Y axis of the H-R diagram?

Describe the luminosity of a Blue O class star and the temperature.

Closure:

1. The location of a star on the H-R diagram gives us an indication of the size of the star.

2. A red giant and a red dwarf are in the same luminosity class.

3. In the spectral sequence of stars, F stars are the hottest stars.

4. Low luminosity stars are more common than high luminosity stars.

5. High mass stars are more common than low mass stars.

6. The most massive main sequence stars are the M stars.

7. When we see an eclipsing binary system, we know that the orbit is inclined nearly or exactly edge-on.

8. The main sequence stars obey a mass luminosity relation. The more luminous stars are less massive
