From meV - TeV

 

 

Daily life

 

J/10^23 atoms - 10^-4 eV

 

300 K = 1/40 eV = 25 eV

Rotation of molecules

Far IR

Vibrations of molecules

Near IR

 

Chemistry

 

1 eV = 12,000 K

 

1.9-3.4 eV is visible

 

13.58 eV IP of Hydrogen

 

Fine structure constant = 1/137 for low energy

 

We know that the speed of light is correct and does not vary from eclipsing binary stars and seeing white light

 

 Inner Shell Atoms

 

 

1 KeV  = 12x10^6 K

 

P + P = (np) + e+ + v

 

100 KeV = 1 MeV

Affects the nucleus

100 MeV = 1 GeV

Neutrons and protons

 

 

Hot things glow

But what keeps them hot?

Nuclear fusion of the sun

Quantum mechanics - protons repelled

 

 

Quarks

 

GeV - TeV  = 12x10^12

 

Fundamental

Standard model

 

Cosmic rays -  10^20 eV

 

High energy physics - cosmology

 

CMB - 3K - meV
