Together with a transcription of these documents, we comment on their contents in the present-day language of physics. Moreover, we compare them with a paper by Johann Georg von Soldner (1776–1833) on the same subject. 1 Introduction The history of ideas about the deflection of light by the gravitational attraction of celestial bodies goes back to the times of Isaac Newton (1642–1726). In fact, in his book Opticks [18] he, in 1704, asks the question (3rd Book, Query No. 1): Do not Bodies act upon Light at a distance, and by their action bend its Rays, and is not this action (caeteris paribus) strongest at the least distance? Another of his queries even gives us an idea of how Newton imagined light itself (Query No. 29): Are not the Rays of Light very small Bodies emitted from shining Substances? However, the first published calculation of this kind of light deflection goes back to the German astronomer and geodesist Johann Georg von Soldner (1776–1833) [25].

  • Einstein's Gravitational Field
    Einstein’s gravitational field Abstract: There exists some confusion, as evidenced in the literature, regarding the nature the gravitational field in Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. It is argued here that this confusion is a result of a change in interpretation of the gravitational field. Einstein identified the existence of gravity with the inertial motion of accelerating bodies (i.e. bodies in free-fall) whereas contemporary physicists identify the existence of gravity with space-time curvature (i.e. tidal forces). The interpretation of gravity as a curvature in space-time is an interpretation Einstein did not agree with. 1 Author: Peter M. Brown e-mail: [email protected] 2 INTRODUCTION Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity (EGR) has been credited as the greatest intellectual achievement of the 20th Century. This accomplishment is reflected in Time Magazine’s December 31, 1999 issue 1, which declares Einstein the Person of the Century. Indeed, Einstein is often taken as the model of genius for his work in relativity. It is widely assumed that, according to Einstein’s general theory of relativity, gravitation is a curvature in space-time. There is a well- accepted definition of space-time curvature. As stated by Thorne 2 space-time curvature and tidal gravity are the same thing expressed in different languages, the former in the language of relativity, the later in the language of Newtonian gravity. However one of the main tenants of general relativity is the Principle of Equivalence: A uniform gravitational field is equivalent to a uniformly accelerating frame of reference. This implies that one can create a uniform gravitational field simply by changing one’s frame of reference from an inertial frame of reference to an accelerating frame, which is rather difficult idea to accept.

  • Fraunhofer Lines and the Composition of the Sun 1 Summary 2 Papers and Datasets 3 Scientific Background
    Fraunhofer lines and the composition of the Sun 1 Summary The purpose of this lab is for you to examine the spectrum of the Sun, to learn about the composition of the Sun (it’s not just hydrogen and helium!), and to understand some basic concepts of spectroscopy. 2 Papers and datasets These documents are all available on the course web page. • Low resolution spectrum of the Sun (from the National Solar Observatory) • Absorption lines of various elements (from laserstars.org and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center) • Table of abundances in the Sun 3 Scientific background 3.1 Spectroscopy At its most basic level, spectroscopy is simply splitting light up into different wavelengths. The classic example is a prism: white light goes in, and a rainbow comes out. Spectroscopy for physics and astronomy usually drops the output onto some kind of detector that records the flux at different wavelengths as a “stripe” across the detector. In other words, the output is a data table that lists the measured flux as a function of pixel number. An critical aspect of spectroscopy is wavelength calibration: what wavelength corresponds to which pixel number? Note that that relationship does not have to be — and is often not — linear. That is, the mapping of wavelength to pixel is not a linear relationship, but something more complicated. 3.2 The Sun The Sun is mostly hydrogen and after that mostly helium. You have learned about the fusion processes in the Sun and in other stars that gradually convert hydrogen to helium and then, for some stars, onward to carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen (CNO cycle), and further upward through the periodic table to iron.

  • SCIENTIFIC CASE: What Are the Stars Made Of?1

Joseph von Fraunhofer (1787 - 1826) prism and a diffraction grating. Source: Museo Alemán de Munich Source: Wikimedia.org More than a century later, in the first years of the 19th Century, Joseph von Fraunhofer (1787-1826) took a big step – he replaced the prism by a more effective optical component: a diffraction grating. This grating had de ability to separate or diffract light into several, more distinguishable rays. That way, Fraunhofer could split sunlight with a better resolution and, when he did, he found out something extraordinary: light wasn't continuous, but had black lines along the spectrum. Fig 5. Fraunhofer's lines. Source: Wikimedia.org So, what do these black lines mean? The Sun emits light due to its high temperature but, on its way from the inside to space, elements in the star absorb part of that light.

  • Light and Gravitation from Newton to Einstein
    Light and gravitation from Newton to Einstein Jean Eisenstaedt - Observatoire de Paris Abstract: How was treated the propagation of light after Newton, before Einstein? From the second half of the 18th century to the early 19th century, the Newtonian theory of propagation of light, a perfectly consistent applica- tion of the Principia to light was developed by John Michell (1724-1793) and then many philosophers. It was as well a classical relativistic optics of moving bodies. In the context of Newton’s Principia, light corpuscles were treated in the very same way as material particles. Thus they were subject to the Galileo- Newtonian kinematics: light velocity was not a constant. Light corpuscles were also subject to the Newtonian dynamics, in particular to two forces, the long-range gravitational force and the short-range refracting force acting on a glass, a crystal. Snell-Descartes’ sinus law implies that greater is the incident velocity of light, lower is the refraction angle on a prism. Thus the measure of the re- fraction angle is a measure of the incident velocity of light, a "method" due to Michell. In 1786 Robert Blair applied Michell’s method to light kinemat- ics and addresses in a very clear way what we call the Doppler effect. The effects of gravity on light in a Newtonian context are qualitatively simi- lar to those predicted by general relativity much later. In 1784 Michell pre- dicted the slowing-down of light by gravitation, and inferred the existence of dark bodies as Pierre Simon Laplace later called them; they are black holes’s cousins.
