Quasars have all kinds of spectral lines namely more energetic ones which makes them the brightest objects in the night sky.
wavelength shift
Elements have several spectral lines and although some lines may be the same between different elements most lines are not and the whole spectrum for each element is indeed unique.
no, it is impossible
Spectral interference is more common in atomic emission spectroscopy due to overlapping spectral lines.
The Zeeman Effect
wavelength shift
For one reason, astronomers can figure out what stars are composed of by looking at their spectral lines.
Spectroscopy.
Each type of atom gives off a unique set of colors. The colored lines (or Spectral Lines ) are a kind of "signature" for the atoms

The spectral lines of Sirius are blueshifted because the star is moving more or less toward us.

Yes. If the star is moving away from the Earth, its spectral lines will shift towards the red end of the spectrum. If it is moving towards the Earth, its spectral lines will shift towards the violet end of the spectrum. This is due to Doppler effect.
spectrometers split light, then the spectral lines show , and you can use spectral analysis to find out what elements are making the light.

The spectral lines move towards one direction, or towards the other direction, depending on the relative speed.
