Astro 3D - Year 12 Physics

Astronomy and Astrophysics

Our Year 12 Physics students recently had the opportunity to participate in Astro 3D online ‘Astronomy and Astrophysics’ incursion to hear presentations from inspiring researchers about the electromagnetic spectrum, spectroscopy the origin of elements, nucleosynthesis in stars and the age and expansion of the Universe to supplement their research task  on Modules ‘The Nature of Light’ and ‘From the universe to the atom’. 

 

Here are some of their comments:

It was very interesting to learn about the electromagnetic spectrum and the origin of elements. What especially fascinated me was, how the blue shift and the red shift of stars worked in relation to the doppler effect. This was due to stars moving towards us appear to have a shorter wavelength of light making it look blue and stars moving away from us appear to have a longer wavelength of light, making it look red.

Time is an uncontrollable aspect of our lives ad how we decide to spend that time will deremine the fate of our future to a certain degree. Astro 3D has taught me how to analyse and manipulate my place on the planet, it highlighted the limitations of our planet and revealed that these standards are able to be discovered and uncovered.

Astro 3D was interesting as it went in depth for certain topics of physics such as Astronomy and Big Bang, showing me how intriguing these topics are
