If considering two different atoms explain the spectral lines?
Spectral lines are bright or dark lines in an otherwise continuous or uniform spectrum. They are caused by an excess (emission lines) or deficiency (absorption lines) of observed photons within certain frequency ranges. Absorption lines usually come from a background continuum; photons are absorbed when passing through matter to the observer. Absorption occurs when an electron within an atom absorbs a photons energy and is bumped up to an excited state. Emission lines usually come from hot gases; photons are emitted from these gases and reach the observer. Emission occurs when an electron within an atom falls back down to it's ground state and releases energy in the form of a photon.
What is atomic absorption spectrophotometry and what are its application in food?
Well, let me try to improve this answer a little... Atomic spectroscopy is, primarily, the science that investigates the interaction of electromagnetic radiation (such as X-rays, ultra-violet and visible light) with atoms, usually by means of absorption or emission. These principles of interaction can be combined in an instrument called "spectrometer" that, finally, can be used to quantify several elements of the periodic table in all kinds of sample that you can imagine, from water to rocks. This is usually done by associating the amount of energy absorbed or emitted by an atom or atom cloud to the quantity of atoms in a given sample (or, indirectly, to the concentration of the element in that sample). The most usual techniques associated to atomic spectroscopy are atomic absorprtion spectrometry, optical (or atomic) emission spectrometry and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Hope that helps... Atomic Spectroscopy is the determination of elemental composition by its electromagnetic or mass spectrum. Sorry if this wasn't the exact answer you're looking for, but it was the only thing I could find. It took me FOREVER to find the answer to this question for a school project I was doing. I hope this is what you need!!! >Smile< :-)
Which properties of a substance contribute to its colour?
Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light power versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects or materials based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra.
What are liners in astronomy?
A Low Ionization Nuclear Emission lineRegion (LINER) is a type of galactic nucleus that is defined by its spectral line emission.See link for more information
What do spectral lines tell us about the internal structure of the atom?
Spectral lines tell us how many different energy levels an atom has, and how far apart those energy levels are spaced. This is possible because spectral lines are the result of an excess (emission lines) or deficiency (absorption lines) of observed photons emitted from certain types of matter. The lines are caused by electrons moving between energy levels within individual atoms. Since each element emits it's own unique spectrum, this means that different types of atoms must have a distinct number of electrons in very particular energy levels.
Why was the discovery of helium's emission sequence important for spectroscopy?
The spectral series are important in astronomy for detecting the presence of hydrogen and calculating red shifts.
What is the splitting of spectral lines called?
Spectroscopy.
How does the spectral interference differ in inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry compared to flame?
Spectral interference occurs when spectral lines overlap. Inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry has more spectral interference as its higher energy allows more electron transitions.
What are the disadvantages of infrared spectroscopy?
The richness of spectral features enhances the probability of overlapping absorption bands.The narrow path-length cells required for many analysis are inconvenient to use and may lead to significant uncertainties.
Spectroscopy values for Zingiberene of U.V and I.R?
give the spectral data to zingiberene
What is an emission spectra used for?
The emission spectrum can be used to determine the composition of a material
Astronomers can learn about bodies in space by studying the patterns formed from?
the light rays that are 'bent'[refracted] as they pass through a prism, and then focused upon the receiving 'tray' that contains the film that is processed to form Spectrographs. Spectrographs are of two types: emission - spectral lines that result from the emission of photons at absolutely specific spectral lines [wavelengths], and - absorption spectral lines that are missing due to the absorbent nature of the interstellar gas & matter clouds that the Source Light passes through.
How do astronomers determine the composition of distant celestial objects?
Spectroscopy is the systematic study of spectra and spectral lines. Spectral lines are used to provide evidence about the chemical composition of distant objects. So the answer to your question is through spectroscopy.. not spectrometry like the previous editor posted.

What is meant by the term spectral emission?
Refers to the color of light emitted by a phosphor.
How can astronomers tell what a distant object is made of?
Astronomers are able to identify chemicals in distant space with the use of spectral analysis. This breaks the light apart into a spectrum and find either emission lines or absorption lines and identifies which elements are present.
How are wavelengths of light detected?
Spectroscopy originated through the study of visible light dispersed by a prism according to its wavelength. An instrument called a spectrometer is used in spectroscopy for producing spectral lines and measuring their wavelengths and intensities.
