PHYS 1 SUNYESC False Color Composite Images & Perceiving Wavelength Discussion
Question Description
Hello,
I was wondering if you would be able to help me with my physics discussion. The directions are posted below, thank you!!
False-color composite images are frequently used in astronomy. NASA has an awe-inspiring galley of false-color composite images on the following website: http://www.nasaimages.org. Perform some background research and discuss the following aspects of astronomical false-color composite imaging:
- What are the advantages of the technique?
- In what ways is the technique implemented?
- What wavelengths can be detected?
- How are the various wavelengths detected?
- What do the different wavelengths mean?
- What types of optical and camera technology are used?
Choose a question or two and post your findings to the forum. Lets build a knowledge base of this powerful imaging technique.
Note: In addition to addressing some of the questions above, I would like each student to post an astronomical false-color composite image. Identify the object, the cameras/detectors used, and the meaning of the colors in the image.
