Document Summary

Chapter 5: the higher the photon energy. -- the shorter its wavelength: the longer the wavelength. -- the smaller is the photon energy: the higher frequency. -- the force decreases by a factor of 4. -- more energy come out at all wavelengths. -- the peak of the spectrum - energy curve shifts blue-ward: a radio wave has w = 1000 km. -- (c = 300,000 km/sec & w * f = c) -- yes, and the red-shift would be the same: if your could view a spectrum of light reflected off a blue sweatshirt, you"d see an entire rainbow of colors. -- no, only blue color would be reflected and the other color would be absorbed by the sweatshirt. If a source of light is moving away from you, all the wavelengths are. -- all wavelengths can be seen, even though that don"t penetrate the atmosphere.
