| 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 |
