How is series of lines emitted by a gas similar to a fingerprint?
They have something called atomic fingerprints.
What causes the lines in an atomice spectrum?
wavelengths of absorbed or emitted photons
In science what is meant by the Lyman series?
The Lyman series is scientifically defined as the series of transitioning of hydrogen atom spectral lines that are found within emission lines of ultra violet.
What is a linear emission spectrum?
A linear emission spectrum is the collection of frequencies that a substance can emit when the atoms in it are excited (say, by heating) or can absorb. Where visible light frequencies are involved the emitted frequencies may be made to appear as a series of coloured lines on an axis representing frequency. Such a spectrum may also be represented as a series of dark lines presented against a straightened rainbow of colours where the axis along the edge of the rainbow represents light frequency. Please see the link.
The lines at the ultraviolet end of the hydrogen spectrum are known as the lyman series wich electron transitions within an atom are responsible for these lines?
The series of lines in an emission spectrum caused by electrons falling from energy level 2 or higher (n=2 or more) back down to energy level 1 (n=1) is called the Lyman series. These emission lines are in the ultra-violet region of the spectrum.
How is series of lines emitted by a gas similar to a fingerprint?
They have something called atomic fingerprints.
How many lines are on a fingerprint?
There is an average of 42-50 lines on a human fingerprint.
What does a DNA fingerprint look like?
A DNA fingerprint could appear in a few different ways depending on it's use. Sometimes a DNA fingerprint just appears as a series of lines on a square board.
What are fingerprint formation?
means the lines on your fingers and how they are lined up
What causes the lines in an atomice spectrum?
wavelengths of absorbed or emitted photons
The spectrum of a star is called a what?
... a photonic 'fingerprint'. The picture of a star's spectral lines is its photo-spectrograph.
What is the definition of an atomic fingerprint?
It is important to know the definition of terms in science. An atomic fingerprint is defined as the unique set of lines an element has based on its energy level.
What evidence do you have the sun contains the element iron?
The spectral lines. Each element has a characteristic "fingerprint" in a spectrum.
What evidence do you have that the sun contains the element iron?
The spectral lines. Each element has a characteristic "fingerprint" in a spectrum.
What is an atomic fingerprint?
An atomic fingerprint is a unique set of lines that identifies each element. The lines act much as DNA in a human, they are exclusive to the particular element, and caused by the energy level of the element.
What is similar about perpendicular lines and intersecting lines?
Perpendicular lines intersect.
What is the meaning of wavy lines?
a series of curve lines
