Description
Electromagnetic waves are fundamental to astronomy, and visible light is just a tiny part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore, to truly understand the physical properties of celestial objects, visible light alone is not sufficient. This workshop is designed to help participants visualize the “invisible light” that surrounds us—such as infrared, ultraviolet, and radio waves—using simple tools that can be found at home. These activities will help students grasp the concept of light beyond the visible spectrum and pave the way toward understanding multi-wavelength astronomy, where astronomers study celestial objects across different wavelengths beyond visible light.
