The wavelength-dependence can be plotted as an "extinction curve," and its shape provides information not only about the composition of the dust, but also about its local environment, such as the ...

Red indicates regions where extinction falls off more rapidly at long wavelengths (the red end of the spectrum), while blue indicates that extinction is less dependent on wavelength. Regions with ...
