New analysis shows atoms slow down more within colder blackbody radiation

New analysis shows that atoms will encounter high frictional forces in the presence of blackbody radiation at lower temperatures. Accounting for this effect could help researchers to improve the accuracy of high-precision experiments.

Blackbody radiation (BBR) contains electromagnetic waves with characteristic spectra, which changes shape depending on the temperature of the body. When moving atoms encounter these fields, they experience a repulsive force which slows down their movement towards the source of the radiation.

Through new analysis published in The European Physical Journal D, Vipul Badhan and colleagues at Guru Nanak Dev University, India, show that the influence of this "blackbody friction force" (BBFF) is particularly strong at lower temperatures.

The influence of BBFF could become particularly strong in high-precision experiments involving atoms and nuclei: from atomic clocks and interferometers to quantum sensors and gravitometers. It is also expected to affect the behaviors of atoms in the remnants of supernovae, and could even impact the cutting-edge techniques used to probe some of the most fundamental aspects of the universe: including dark matter and gravitational waves. An improved understanding of BBFF could be crucial to ensuring the best possible accuracy in these important experiments.

since the charged subatomic particles in a spinning object are accelerating (towards the axis of rotation), wouldn't a wheel in space emit a tiny amount of radio waves and slow down over the aeons?

(Sorry I missed this, tumblr doesn't notify me about asks)

(This is in response to a post where I said a spinning wheel in space would continue spinning forever, just like a moving object in space would keep moving forever)

Hmm I think this might be technically correct. I'm a little concerned about conservation of angular momentum, but that could probably be accounted for by the photons being emitted

This is, by the way, not a measure of how hot the bulb actually gets. It's a measure of how hot you'd need to get to create that color of light from JUST high temperature. We aren't limited to thermal light these days, though, and can approximate the color of "white" light you'd get from higher and lower temperatures using tuned LEDs or various fluorescent stuff.

There are so many different shades of white light bulbs, I am so overwhelmed walking down the light bulb aisle, and then I'm never happy with the one I choose, no matter which one I choose, I get it home and I put it in and I'm like, ugh, I don't like THAT white

Wien's Displacement Law

Introduction Wien’s Displacement Law, formulated by physicist Wilhelm Wien in 1893, explains the distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a black body in thermal equilibrium. The law reveals a fascinating correlation between the peak wavelength of a black body’s spectral radiance and its temperature. Basic Principle of Wien’s Displacement Law The law states that the wavelength at…

Another thing I'm trying to figure out is iterator green lightning

I'm assuming it is due to ionization of some specific gas, but can't really find anything online, other that it naturally occurs in tornado storms irl (but isn't exactly understood why) or info about how do fireworks get their color

Any thoughts on this?

Ionization of a particular gas or mixture of gases was the first thought that came to my mind as well. Low temperature xenon-nitrogen plasma seems to be a vibrant green, for instance. The green sparks are quite strange though, since real sparks are solid material glowing from heat. A compound in the air that heavily absorbs blue light could perhaps turn the blackbody radiation from sparks or high-temperature plasma greenish, and it might even explain the reddish skies beneath Five Pebbles. But the absorption would have to be incredibly strong to have an effect this close to the light source, and the green lightning beneath Looks to the Moon is accompanied by no such reddish hue. Aside from that, the stars in Rain World are green too, which might be related. Maybe our resident astronomer @delta-orionis has a theory for that one?
