An Introduction to:

All objects in the material universe emit energy, this being the reason we can detect them in the first place. Astronomers can determine the temperature and elements of distant stars by measuring the frequencies which they emit. Using a spectroscope, astronomers can split the light emitted from distant stars into individual frequencies displayed as bands of colour (the spectrum), from which they can determine the elements which the heavenly bodies are comprised of.

For example, sodium is yellow at 510 million million oscillations per second or a wavelength 588 nanometres. The overall emitted colour as seen by the eye determines the surface temperature of the star, high temperature white dwarf stars emit more energy in the ultraviolet frequency band, whereas cooler yellow and red giant stars emit the bulk of their energy in the infrared frequency band.

Humans emit energy away from the body in all directions as electromagnetic waves at microwave frequencies in the infrared wave band, but this energy is not detectable by the human eye or indeed by any conventional glass optical, photographic or video camera. The number of oscillations per second for the frequency bands for ultraviolet, visible light, infrared and microwaves are so large as to be too unmanageable on paper, therefore they are always referred to as 'the wavelength' and this is calculated by dividing the number of oscillations per second into the speed of light which is 299,800,000 metres per second (186,284 miles per second).

This calculation provides the precision length of each cycle or wave. The values for the very high frequencies instead of being recited in billions of cycles per second are for convenience always quoted as the wavelength (8) in micrometres (um) and nanometres (nm) (See Fig. 1 & 2).
