Satellites Observe the Earth
• Resulting images yield valuable information about natural resources
and the environment
• Special sensors are like sensitive cameras that can “see” invisible light

Light Has a Dual Nature
• Particles called photons• Waves that can travel through the vacuum
of space• Einstein’s photoelectric effect
demonstrates dual nature

What is Color?
• What color is the sky?• What color is water?• The color an object appears depends on the
color of the light source and the pigments in object.
• How does sunlight shining through water droplets cause a rainbow?

Color Spectrum Light through a Prism
• Each wavelength band bends differently through prism

Electromagnetic Radiation
• Energy traveling outward, as in rays
• Waves through space
– Periodic disturbances to electric and magnetic fields
• Speed of Light
– C= 186,000 mi/sec or 300,000 km/sec

Electromagnetic Spectrum
• Visible bands (colors)are small portion of spectrum• Long wavelengths to left are lower energy• Short wavelengths to right are higher energy

Spectroscopy: Science of Making & Studying Spectra
• Spectroscope: device that produces color spectrum
• Spectrometer: instrument that measures the intensity of light
![Page 11: Learning Objectives Nature of Light Color & Spectroscopy ALTA Spectrophotometer Spectral Signature of Substances Interpretation of Satellite Images.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e895503460f94b8e889/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ALTA II Reflectance Spectrometer
• Measures intensity of
reflected light • Provides its own light
sources - Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)• Provides results comparable to data
gathered from satellite spectroscopy

Remote Sensing
• Gathering information about something without actually touching it.
• Human eye acts as a remote sensor.
![Page 14: Learning Objectives Nature of Light Color & Spectroscopy ALTA Spectrophotometer Spectral Signature of Substances Interpretation of Satellite Images.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e895503460f94b8e889/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Remote Sensing
• Satellites remotely sense the Earth using spectroscopy
• Provides a wealth of information applying to many users including:– Agriculture– Environment– Natural Resources– Telecommunications– Utilities

Ground Truth
• Reference data collected on Earth– Aids in interpretation, analysis,
and validation of remotely sensed data
– Expensive and time consuming

Remotely Sensed Image
• Image is composed of small dots, called picture elements (pixels)• Scientist can extract information from every pixel

Calculating Percent Reflectance
For Green Leaf
Perform the following steps for each ALTA data point (wavelength)
• Step 1 - Subtract dark voltage from standard white card reading and leaf reading.
• Step 2 - Divide resulting leaf reading by resulting standard white card reading.
• Step 3 - Multiply result of Step 2 by 100
Repeat Steps 1-3 for roofing shingle
