2. Spectroradiometry for Earth and planetary remote sensing

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroradiometry_for...

   The collected light then passes through a monochromator, where it is separated into different ranges of wavelengths to create a spectrum. The separated wavelengths of light are subsequently directed onto a detector, such as a charge-coupled device (CCD) array or a CMOS sensor , where the radiation intensities across the spectrum are recorded.

3. Visible spectrum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum

   The spectrum appears only when these edges are close enough to overlap. In the early 19th century, the concept of the visible spectrum became more definite, as light outside the visible range was discovered and characterized by William Herschel and Johann Wilhelm Ritter (ultraviolet), Thomas Young, Thomas Johann Seebeck, and others.

   The wavelength of light is then selected by the slit on the upper right corner. An optical spectrometer (spectrophotometer, spectrograph or spectroscope) is an instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically used in spectroscopic analysis to identify materials.

5. Spectroscopy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopy

   An example of spectroscopy: a prism analyses white light by dispersing it into its component colors. Spectroscopy is the field of study that measures and interprets electromagnetic spectra. [1] [2] In narrower contexts, spectroscopy is the precise study of color as generalized from visible light to all bands of the electromagnetic spectrum.

7. Light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

   Light exerts physical pressure on objects in its path, a phenomenon which can be deduced by Maxwell's equations, but can be more easily explained by the particle nature of light: photons strike and transfer their momentum. Light pressure is equal to the power of the light beam divided by c, the speed of light.

9. Spectrum (physical sciences) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_(physical_sciences)

   In the physical sciences, the term spectrum was introduced first into optics by Isaac Newton in the 17th century, referring to the range of colors observed when white light was dispersed through a prism. [1] [2] Soon the term referred to a plot of light intensity or power as a function of frequency or wavelength, also known as a spectral ...
