Stars and Electromagnetic Spectrum

Distance between the crests (the symbol is λ)

• Amplitude
• Ultraviolet
• Electronegativity
• Wavelength

The number of wave cycles to pass a given point per time unit

• Gamma Waves
• Meters
• Frequency
• Radio Waves

Wavelength and Frequency are related in that...

• they are always the same
• when one increases, the other decreases (inversely proportional)
• no correlation
• they are both confusing

These have the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency

• Radio Waves
• Visible Light
• Gamma Waves
• Purple

These are the only wavelengths the human eye can see:

• X-rays
• Radio Waves
• Visible Light
• Gamma Waves

These have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency

• Microwave
• Visible Light
• Diamond Light
• Gamma Waves

What harmful effect can the sun have for life on Earth? 

• Increasing green energy with solar panels and wind turbines
• Vitamin D deficiency and bone loss
• Plants and animals dying by dehydration
• Ultraviolet radiation causes skin damage, leading to skin cancer

The color of the star tells us its 

• composition
• Temperature
• Luminosity 
• Mass

The hottest color star is 

• Blue
• White
• Yellow
• Red

Our star is a 

• yellow/ large star
• yellow/ small star
• yellow/ medium star
• white/medium star
