Astronomers use the light spectrum of distant objects to determine the chemical composition of those objects. Each element on the period table gives off a different spectrum, and by looking through a spectrometer an astronomer can read the spectrum and figure out what that object is made up of to gain better understanding of our universe.

How spectroscopy works?

Spectroscopy is basically the study of the spectrums of visible and non-visible light rays. Specifically, it is determining the output of radiation an object has along the spectrum. This is called a wavelength.

What are the 3 spectrums of light in fios?

There are 3 spectrums of light measured in nm nanometers. There are 2 downstream spectrums and 1 upstream spectrum. 1490 carries voice and data downstrem. 1550 carries video downstream. 1310 carries all upstream. Generally there are acceptable levels at an ONT. This stands for Optical Network Terminal. Fios has its own standards. 1490 should be no lower than -28nm and 1550 should be no lower than -6. You can do more research if you want to get more detailed specs.
