What is a device that separates the light from stars and other objects according to wavelength in order to produce a spectrum?
spectrograph
What type of spectrum does an incandescent light produce?
There are no bright lines and no dark lines in the spectrum, incandescent light has a continuous spectrum with all visible colors present
What is a rainbow and how are they formed?
the white light gets made into a spectrum when it goes through the raindrops, but you also need the sun to shine to produce te white light
Does the sun produce blue light?
Yes. The sun produces light across the entire visible spectrum. Its just that the yellow is most apparent. If the sun didn't produce blue light we wouldn't be able to see the color blue by sunlight..
What type of spectrum does the Sun's photosphere produce?
Visible light is a portion of the electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. Stars Emit their own light. visible Light has a Wavelength of around 80 or 400 nm to about 760 or 780 nm
What colors on the color spectrum combine to produce gray?
The colors on the color spectrum combined to produce gray are black and white.
Why does magnesium not produce a color in the flame test?
it does not produce a flame colour because magnesium's colour is not in the visible light spectrum therefore we can not see the colour
Does the Sun produce a continuous spectrum or an absorption spectrum?
The photosphere of the sun doesn't really produce a continuous spectrum; there are discontinuities corresponding to energy levels of various chemical elements, called spectral lines. Notably Helium was discovered in the absorption lines of the solar spectrum and only later discovered on Earth.
What simple device uses diffraction to produce a better spectrum than a prism can produce?
A diffraction grating does.
Which type of spectrum can be produced by solid liquid or gas?
The spectrum produced by solid is continuous spectrum. Continuous spectrum is formed by all, solid liquid and gases if the pressure is high. In case of low pressure, gases produce line spectrum.
How do raindrops produce a spectrum?
Rain droplets can refract light. Different colours refract in different amounts so a spectrum is produced.
What element can produce an atomic emission spectrum in its natural state neon chlorine silicon or Krypton?
Every element can produce an emission spectrum, if it is sufficiently heated. Of the 4 elements that you mention, neon is the most useful, in terms of its emission spectrum, and it is used in a certain type of lighting.
If you heat a piece of wire until it glow's what type of spectrum does it produce?
Well I know if you heat a rock until it glows, its spectrum will be thermal radaition spectrum
What is the light produce a spectrum as it passes through the prism what is the process called?
Refraction
What is the name of the spectrum when elements produce different colors when heated?
Atomic spectra
What causes the color when you burn an element?
A spectrum is what it is called when an element burns and produce light. The spectrum of an element is based on what orbit the electrons are in and what energy level the electrons are at.
Why does excited hydrogen atoms always produce the same line emission spectrum?
because it only releases photons of certain energies.
