nm | (1x10^-9)m |
A | 1x10^-10 |
pm | 1x10^-12 |
c | 3.00x10^8 |
c= frequency x wavelength | What is the formula for frequency |
Reflection | Light ray bounce back |
Absorption | Light rays disappear |
Transmission | Light rays pass |
Spectroscopy | The study of the absorption and emission of light and other radiation by matter |
Blackbody | An idealized object that absorbs all radiation it encounters. It then releases that energy through emission |
