Today’s Lab• If we shine light on an object, some light is

absorbed and some is reflected

• Which wavelengths/colors are absorbed versus reflected?

Objects appear to be different colors because of the light they reflect

Different objects have unique spectra

Reflectance Spectrometer

Shines a single wavelength of light on an object and measures intensity of reflected light

Reflectance Spectrometer

Has 2 infrared channels

Infrared light has longer wavelength than red light

Can think of infrared energy as the heat an object emits• Humans emit infrared energy• Planets emit infrared energy
