EM SpectrumEM Spectrum Spectrum means Spectrum means ““a rangea range”” EM spectrum ranges from long EM spectrum ranges from long
wavelengths to shortwavelengths to short

Wavelength and FrequencyWavelength and Frequency
Wavelength is the distance Wavelength is the distance between two peaks (or between two peaks (or troughs)troughs)
Frequency is how frequently Frequency is how frequently the waves occurthe waves occur
A longer wavelength means a A longer wavelength means a lower frequencylower frequency
A shorter wavelength means a A shorter wavelength means a higher frequencyhigher frequency

As frequency As frequency decreases, energy decreases, energy increasesincreases

How light or electromagnetic radiation is used in Astronomy
• Astronomers use spectroscopes• separate starlight into its colors • Identify star’s composition, temperature,
luminosity• Different wavelengths provide
different information• Temperature – Blackbody Radiation• Composition – Absorption Spectrum• Luminosity/Brightness
