WebElements: the periodic table on the world-wide webhttp://www.webelements.com/
Element symbols and names: symbols, names, and spellings are recommended by IUPAC (http://www.iupac.org/). Names are not yet proposed for the elements beyond 111 - those used here are IUPAC’s temporary systematic names (Pure & Appl. Chem., 1979, 51, 381–384). In the USA and some other countries, the spellings
aluminum and cesium are normal while in the UK and elsewhere the usual spelling is sulphur.
Atomic weights (mean relative masses): Apart from the heaviest elements, these are IUPAC 2007 values (Pure & Appl. Chem., 2007, in press). Elements with values given in brackets have no stable nuclides and are represented by integer values for the longest-lived isotope known at the time writing.
The elements thorium, protactinium, and uranium have characteristic terrestrial abundances and these are the values quoted. The last significant figure of each value is considered reliable to ±1 except where a larger uncertainty is given in parentheses.
Periodic table organisation: for a justification of the positions of the elements La, Ac, Lu, and Lr in the WebElements periodic table see W.B. Jensen, “The positions of lanthanum (actinium) and lutetium (lawrencium) in the periodic table”, J. Chem. Ed., 1982, 59, 634–636.
Group labels: the numeric system (1–18) used here is the current IUPAC convention. For a discussion of this and other common systems see: W.C. Fernelius and W.H. Powell, “Confusion in the periodic table of the elements”, J. Chem. Ed., 1982, 59, 504–508.

Thermal or Blackbody Radiation
Read: Chap 5, review for Exam 09/25/14 – slide 16
Planck (1900) was trying to understand the nature of radiation that filled
an enclosure that had come to equilibrium
This emission of radiation that de-
pends on an objects temperature is
called thermal or blackbody radia-
tion
A perfect blackbody reflects no light
(it’s only truly black at 0◦ K)
When heated, a blackbody glows
with a continuous spectrum which
depends only on its temperature

Planck measured the amount of energy in the radiation
as a function of wavelength
Their results could be displayed as a kind of histogram,
with energy plotted against small wavelength intervals
(a distribution)
Shapes of the curves depended only on the temperature
of the enclosure, and not on the material inside
This energy distribution became known as the
Universal Planck Radiation Law

of emission lines
Because those atoms can
absorb photons with those
same energies, upward
transitions produce a pat-
tern of absorption lines at
the same wavelengths

1. A dense (opaque) hot object emits a continuous
spectrum
2. A cool tenuous cloud emits discrete spectral lines
3. A hot opaque object viewed through a cool cloud shows
a continuous spectrum with absorption lines
Virtually every astronomical observation fits in one of these
categories.
