Gravity and Orbits
• Throwing an object fast enough will put the object into orbit! (Neglecting air resistance)
• Moon is continually “falling” towards the Earth in its orbit (Gravity vs. inertia)

Correction to Kepler’s Third Law
• Earth and sun actually rotate about their common center of mass
• Corresponds to a point inside sun
• Used to detect extrasolar planets

Waves are a type of disturbance that can propagate or travel.Waves carry information and energy.
Properties of a wave
wavelength ()
crest
amplitude (A)
velocity (v)trough
is a distance, so its units are m, cm, or mm, etc.
Period (T): time between crest (or trough) passages
Frequency (f): rate of passage of crests (or troughs), f
V = f1
T(units: Hertz or cycles/sec)

All radiation (including visible light) travels as Electromagnetic waves.
That is, waves of electric and magnetic fields travelling together.

• Electric Force - opposites attract, likes repel
• Oscillating charges radiate
• All objects have temperatures greater than absolute zero - random thermal motion
• All objects radiate!• Why don’t we see the
radiation coming from many ordinary objects?– Dog whistle analogy

an alien race?
