  1. The Sun-Earth-Moon System Tools of Astronomy The Moon Sun-Earth-Moon System Chap. 28

  2. Objectives Tools of Astronomy – 28.1 • describe electro-magnetic radiation. • explain how telescopes work • describe space exploration http://www.physics.unr.edu/cshirley/images.html

  3. Electromagnetic Radiation (light)

  4. Electromagnetic Radiation (light) • Only part of the spectrum is visible (ROY G BIV)

  5. Electromagnetic Radiation (light) • Only part of the spectrum is visible (ROY G BIV) • Most ‘light’ cannot be seen by the human eye

  6. Electromagnetic Radiation (light) • Only part of the spectrum is visible (ROY G BIV) • Most ‘light’ cannot be seen by the human eye • Different light has different wavelengths

  7. Electromagnetic Radiation (light) • Only part of the spectrum is visible (ROY G BIV) • Most ‘light’ cannot be seen by the human eye • Different light has different wavelengths • Frequency is related to wavelength The longer the wave the the frequency

  8. Electromagnetic Radiation (light) • Only part of the spectrum is visible (ROY G BIV) • Most ‘light’ cannot be seen by the human eye • Different light has different wavelengths • Frequency is related to wavelength The longer the wave the shorter the frequency

  9. Telescopes Yerkes observatory (WI), 1897

  10. Telescopes • Introduction

  11. Telescopes • Introduction • Purpose – to collect light and focus it Globular Star Cluster M15, Milky Way
