Olaf R ömer Speed of light c = 300,000 km/s: Discovered by: Olaus Roemer (1675) Eclipses of Jupiter ’ s moons come a few minutes late when Jupiter is on the far side of its orbit. Reason: light needs extra time to reach us. Conclusion: light needs 9 minutes to traverse the Sun-Earth distance. Watch 07JupiterMoonDance.mov Light takes a few minutes/hours to move around in the solar system years or more to go from star to star

The electromagnetic spectrum Light has a wavelength: Wavelength of light means color: Blue has short wavelength Red has long wavelength What is beyond blue? Bluer than blue is UV (ultraviolet) - even shorter wavelength Redder than red is IR (infrared) - even longer wavelength These are colors of light invisible to the eye.

The full spectrum And what is beyond those wavelengths? (A prism breaks up white light into colors.) They all move with the same speed c = 300,000 km/s Radio | Infrared | Visible | Ultraviolet X-ray|  -ray Need spacecraft (Far UV, X-ray,  -ray) Need spacecraft Eye / Telescope Radio antenna Prism Slit White light
