- Visbile light: to see; Xrays: to inspect bones without surgery; Gamma rays: to kill bacteria; UV: suntanning, helps bees navigate, powers photosynthesis; Infrared: night vision, heat radiation, some lasers; Microwaves: telecommunications, radar, ovens; Radio waves: telecommunications. (any 5) (5)
- She can project the light from the star through a spectroscope which splits it into its components. She can then compare the spectrum to known emission spectra of known elements. (3)
- Any value 700-600 nm(it's continuous); Any value near 400-450 nm. (2)
- UV has a short wavelength which means that it has high energy levels. (2)
- Gamma. (1)
