BEYOND EARTH TOOLS OF ASTRONMY LIGHT – Reaches Earth because it was Emitted from or Reflected off of distant objects • Only mechanism absent particles and fragments that have entered our atmosphere or been obtained via some form of sampling device • Commonly referred to as electromagnetic radiation q. Electric and Magnetic disturbances traveling through space in waves q. Goes beyond the realm of “visible” light that the human eye can detect q. All are arranged according to their Wavelength, but can also be classified by Frequency Wavelength is the distance between peaks of a wave, while Frequency is the number of waves per second All based on the SPEED of Light C = λf C = speed of light, λ = wavelength, f = frequency All electromagnetic radiation has the same c (speed) Unit I: DYNAMIC EARTH AND BEYOND
