Homework
You have been provided with a transparency with a spectrum printed on it. This is the spectrum of an unknown planet's atmosphere. Use this spectrum to complete Activity 6 of VQM Activities and submit it for homework.

This tutorial explores how we can use energy diagrams of light emission to learn about the composition of stars.

WARNING: Never look directly at the sun. To view the sun's spectrum place white paper in sunlight. Look at the light reflected from the paper.
