energy spectrum
Radiation intensity graph
An energy spectrum is the distribution of particles, radiation, or waves across different energy levels.
In physics, it describes how intensity or quantity varies with energy—from the discrete emission lines of atoms to the continuous spectrum of cosmic rays.
The detector measured the energy spectrum of incoming gamma rays.
Solar panels are optimized for the sun's energy spectrum.
