Seeing the Scientific Light

Synopsis
This educational programme is aimed at high school students and college undergraduates studying astronomy, chemistry and physics. Spectroscopy is the measurement of the response of matter as it interacts with light. Its many uses extend beyond space to science, to weather monitoring, medical diagnostics such as MRI, household conveniences like the microwave oven and countless other facets of everyday life. This documentary examines the critical role spectroscopy plays in studying the nature, composition, history and future of the Universe.
