What were dark lines in the spectrum named for?
Dark lines especially in solar spectrum have been named as Fraunhofer lines. These line are good examples for line absorption spectrum
Is an atomic emission spectrum a continuous range of colors?
No. Atomic emission spectrum is non-contiuous and it is named as line spectrum.
Why dark line appears in absorption spectrum?
Dark lines in an absorption spectrum are caused by material existing between the source of light and the observation point. This material can absorb light from the source at specific energies corresponding to the excitation energies of the molecules, atoms, or ions making up the material.
Why is the emission spectrum of hydrogen a line spectrum and not a continuous spectrum?
It's a line spectrum because of the quantization of energy- meaning you only see energy with levels n=1,2,3.... One would never see the energy level n=2.8 for instance- that would be the case if it were continuous rather than a line spectrum.
Why elements give line spectrum?
Because the spectra of elements is determined by the energy of transitions of electrons between two allowed quantum states. Since these energy differences can have only certain specified values, the spectrum consists of lines: The spectrum frequency values intermediate between the lines do not correspond to transitions between any two allowed quantum states and therefore do not appear in the spectrum
Who discovered the dark line spectrum?
Lippershey first discovered a dark-line spectrum.
Continuous spectrum with dark lines where light is absorbed?
dark-line spectrum...
What were dark lines in the spectrum named for?
Dark lines especially in solar spectrum have been named as Fraunhofer lines. These line are good examples for line absorption spectrum
What kind of spectrum is used to determine the composition of a planet's atmosphere?
dark line spectrum
What kind of spectrum would Titan be expected to have?
dark-line
Is an absorption spectrum also called a bright line spectrum?
No, its an absorption spectrum
What kind of spectrum is used to determine the composition of the planets atmosphere?
dark-line... :)
Why line spectrum is called finger print spectrum?
It is unique to a specific atom. The emission spectrum of sodium, for example, has two characteristic lines close together in the yellow part of the spectrum, which cannot be found in any other atom. Each line in a spectrum relates to a change in electron state or level.
What does a star's dark-line spectrum reveal?
The dark lines reveal the atoms that are associated with the stars atmosphere. The dark lines are atom energy absorption signatures.
What does a stars dark line spectrum reveal?
The dark lines reveal the atoms that are associated with the stars atmosphere. The dark lines are atom energy absorption signatures.
Why discontinuous spectrum is also called atomic or line spectrum?
Because the band is broken by colorless gaps
What do you call a prism spreading out light into colors?
It is called Visible light Spectrum.
