This is one of those times when family and work collide. My niece was diagnosed with a severe skin infection which required a surgery and has a skin graft scheduled for tomorrow. As a result, much of my weekend has been spent in the hospital.
This means that I am making tomorrow's test OPTIONAL. Test is required on TUESDAY, due to the late nature of the review sheet being posted. Thanks for your understanding on this unavoidable lapse.
1. Almost massless particle that tells us the health of the sun
2. Knock out communication or electrical transformers, cause extreme sunburns, cause auroras
3. In the center of the sun.
4. Melting one atom into another. The proton-proton chain is one example. The CNO chain is another.
5. Helium
6. Ray Davis had 100000 gallons of dry cleaning fluid down a mile in a mine (the Homestake mine) and was trying to confirm the numbers of neutrinos coming from the sun.
7. There are three types of neutrinos. Davis' experiment only could detect one.
8. Because they can see different parts of the universe.
9. It had mirrors and you could see the images upright?
10. It's the million year trip that a photon formed in fusion takes to travel to the surface of the Sun.
11. 6000 degrees vs. 15000000 at the core.
12. H and He
13. A stellar fingerprint is made up of all the colors that are specific to each particular element.
14. OBAFGKML
15. It's surface temperature, and usually its classified by elements based on that.
16. Hipparchus did not realize that the sun and the moon also should be considered in the spectra. His scale doesn't account for negative magnitude, and we have extended the scale to a magnitude of 25. 6 is the lowest magnitude we can see with the naked eye.
17. Annie Cannon
18. More than 20 years of working to figure out how the neutrinos in the sun worked. Bahcall is the theorist.
19. What is the difference between a theorist (does the math) and an experimentalist (does the experiment and gets the Nobel)?
20. Can we create fusion here on earth (only for a few seconds)
21. Radioactivity is not good or bad. It's how we use it that is. Fusion from the sun is a type of radioactivity that keeps our planet warm. Radioactivity in the core of the earth is what helps keep our planet spinning, due to inertia.
22. After we fuse all the hydrogen, we start fusing helium.
23. hydrogen particles and photons and stray atoms.
24. Several times bigger than the diameter of the earth.
25. Sunspots cool the sun, have a magnetic effect on the sun, and cause solar flares.
26. Pressure blows out of the core, and gravity pulls the matter back in. If there is not a balance, the star grows bigger, or implodes
27.Travel at the speed of light.
28.22 year cycle where we got through solar maximums and minimums, caused by the convection inside the sun.
29. A diagram of the activity of the sun month-by-month or year-by-year versus distance from the equator.
30. Can cause the occasional solar flare.
31. Solar particles are directed past the earth, as the magnetic field is a force field that protects us. The auroras show up near the poles.
32. A place where a star has impoded.
33. Einstein says that E=mc^2 is a way to understand how matter can turn into pure energy in the core of the sun.
34. A gamma ray telescope detects black holes, dust is detected by infrared.
35. Gamma
36. UV, visible, and infrared
37. Charge coupling device used to detect photons and turn them into voltage.
38. Light turns voltage and the voltage is converted into bits, which the computer can store.
39. TONS of things, including solar cells, but most importantly all digital cameras.
40. Very large array in southern US or a cellular dish
41. 3 is brighter than a magnitude 5
