  7. Speed of Light ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 4 � 7

  8. A light-year is a unit of… A) Energy B) Time C) Distance D) Time and Distance ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 4 � 8

  9. A light-year is like a parsec, but 3.26 times shorter ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 4 � 9

  10. Light is “quantized” Its energy is proportional to frequency ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 4 � 10

  11. Electromagnetic Spectrum ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 4 � 11

  12. What type of emission do we see only from the most energetic events? A) Visible Light B) Radio Waves C) Ultraviolet Light D) Gamma Rays ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 4 � 12

  13. What is a spectrum? Intensity/Brightness Wavelength [nm] ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 4 � 13

  14. Which object would look bluer? Which object would look brighter? Intensity/Brightness A B Wavelength [nm] ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 4 � 14

  15. Emission and Absorption Lines Emission sticks up Absorption sticks down ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 4 � 15

  17. ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 4 � 17

  18. Our eyes are telescopes! Works like a refractor amount of refraction depends on the wavelength of light — cannot focus red and blue light at the same time! ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 4 � 18

  19. Astronomical Sources are “infinitely” far away ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 4 � 19

  20. Use reflecting telescopes due to less chromatic aberration and easier to build large ones ASTR/PHYS 1060: The Universe Fall 2018: Chapter 4 � 20
