ANSWER NOW: (You will turn this in) Write, discuss, sketch, label – somehow communicate your knowledge and understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum. If you don’t think you have one, write/discuss/sketch/label a rainbow instead. Tell me everything you can. • 1st GOAL: Understand spectra. • Vocabulary: wavelength, spectra, continuous spectrum, emission spectrum, absorption spectrum, black-body spectrum, electron, energy levels, excited, Doppler effect, red shift, blue shift, metallicity
Different wavelengths are different colors. • Different wavelengths are different energies. • Different colors are different energies. • If you look directly at a heat source – you get ALL POSSIBLE COLORS – continuous spectrum or “black body” spectrum. • If you look at a heated gas you get some colors because it’s not heat, it’s excited electrons.

Review: (You will turn this in) • Define three of these terms: • Metallicity • Spectrum • Excited • Spectra • Doppler effect • Red shift
