Question

what is the zeemann effect?

Answer 1

zeemann effect shows the existence of a third quantum number-magnetic moment.
when a magnetic field is applied the spectral lines further divide showing that diff. electrons have diff. mag. moments.

Answer 2

makes sense! how would u measure limb darkening using spectras of the sun?

Answer 3

Limb darkening?

Answer 4

yes, the run of temperature through the sun’s photosphere

Answer 5

Oh.Sorry,i don't know about that effect.They do not teach such stuff in high school :)

Answer 6

Maybe they use stefann-boltzmann law:
spectral intensity is proportional to fourth power of the temperature

Answer 7

Oh.Does ratio of spectra means ratio of wavelengths?

Answer 8

idk what their talking about...

Answer 9

idk too.But,if you get a ratio of wavelengths of the radiations from the center of the sun to that from the surface,you can get a relation of temperatures.

Answer 10

that would be very interesting! think you can find a website on that?

Answer 11

maybe,i'll try.You study astronomy in college?

Answer 12

no i am in highschool going to an astronomy camp next week. Have any ideas of research i could do??

Answer 13

I wanna help the astronomical community, and wanna do something that hasn't been done before. I wanna do something with galaxies..

Answer 14

Oh,good.You can work with unified theory.

Answer 15

i get access to extremely large observatories in arizona

Answer 16

great.i'd love that :)
