Draw a representation of a light wave traveling to the right in the space below. Indicate the oscillating electric and magnetic fields. \"'hat is the direction of polarization of the EM wave you drew\"? Now consider this wave and let it pass through a polarizing filter oriented with its polarization axis parallel to the polarization of the wave you have drawn above. How much of the wave passes through the filter? How does your answer change if the polarization axis of the lter and the wave are 45 degrees apart? List some types of common electromagnetic radiation including microwaves. radio waves, X-rays. and the visible spectrum in order of wavelength from smallest to largest in the space below. Indicate the direction of increasing frequency with an arrow. Howis the energy per photon related to the wavelength and frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum?

Would we say it glows? b) At what wavelength does the lightbulb emit? Would we say it glows? c) Though we hold our sun in unique regard it is in fact a very average star. What color would be describe it as? What is the "color" of the star Sirius A?Blackbody Temperature + Graph Values B GR 250 K Labels 100 Ultraviolet, Visible Infrared Intensity Sirius A 2.22 x 102 W/m2 O Sun Spectral Power Density (MW/m2/um) Light Bulb Earth 1 x 105 0 11.591 3 Wavelength (um) + C 1 um = 1000 nmBlackbody Temperature H Graph Values B G R 3050 K Labels 100 Ultraviolet, Visible Infrared Intensity Sirius A 4.91 x 106 W/m2 O Sun Spectral Power Density (MW/m2/um) Light Bulb 3.40 Earth 0 0.950 3 Wavelength (um) + 1 um = 1000 nmBlackbody Temperature + Graph Values B G R 5800 K Labels 100 Ultraviolet, Visible Infrared Intensity Sirius A 6.42 x 10 W/m2 84.35 O Sun Spectral Power Density (MW/m2/um) Light Bulb Earth O 0.512 3 Wavelength (um) + C 1 um = 1000 nmBlackbody Temperature + _Graph Values B G R 10000 K _Labels 100 Ultraviolet, Visible Infrared Intensity 1286.78 Sirius A 5.67 x 108 W/m2 O Sun Spectral Power Density (MW/m2/um) Light Bulb Earth 0 0.290 3 Wavelength (um) + 1 um = 1000 nm
