That is, if you observe the spectrum of a star and can determine the wavelength where the emission peaks (Î»max), you can calculate that starâs temperature. Here is another copy of the plot that we studied in Lesson 3: Figure 4.1: Two-dimensional plot of the spectrum of a blackbody with different temperatures.
Igneous rocks usually contain the most crystals. The longer it takes the magma to cool, the larger the crystals.
Crystal size is the most striking feature of pegmatites, with crystals usually over 5 cm in size. Individual crystals over 10 metres across have been found, and many of the world's largest crystals were found within pegmatites.These include, spodumene, microcline, beryl, and tourmaline.rystal size is the most striking feature of pegmatites, with crystals usually over 5 cm in size.
