毫无疑问，天文学家或物理学家用来研究宇宙的最有用的工具之一就是光谱学。然而，对于物理或天文学入门课程的学生来说，光谱学是一个相对抽象的概念，它结合了新的物理主题，如热辐射、原子物理、光和物质的波动和粒子性质。为了应对这个概念上的障碍，我们开发了一个练习，气球代表星星，按钮代表光子，学生们通过对彩色按钮进行分类来产生和解释光谱。
Without question, one of the most useful tools an astronomer or physicist can employ to study the universe is spectroscopy. However, for students in introductory physics or astronomy classes, spectroscopy is a relatively abstract concept that combines new physics topics such as thermal radiation, atomic physics, and the wave and particle nature of light and matter. In response to this conceptual hurdle, we have developed an exercise where balloons represent stars, buttons represent photons, and students produce and interpret spectra by sorting colored buttons.
