It's called a spectrum. I've never heard any other term used for it.
... a photonic 'fingerprint'. The picture of a star's spectral lines is its photo-spectrograph.
The change in a star's spectrum when it moves away from the Earth is called redshift. This shift occurs because the wavelengths of light emitted by the star are stretched out as the star moves away, causing the light to appear more red.
The dark lines are absorption spectrum, the energy absorbed by Atoms in the atmosphere of the star. ================================ Fraunhofer's spectral lines.
That's done by analyzing the star's spectrum.
There is a change in frequency; this effect is called "Doppler effect".
That is called "redshift". The frequency of the radiation decreases.
Yes, the spectrum of a star reveals the elements present in its atmosphere through a process called spectroscopy. When light from a star passes through its atmosphere, specific wavelengths are absorbed by the elements, creating absorption lines in the spectrum. By analyzing these lines, astronomers can identify the chemical composition, temperature, density, and motion of the star's atmosphere.
The dark lines that appear in a spectrum of light from a star are called absorption lines. These lines are caused by the absorption of specific wavelengths of light by elements in the outer atmosphere of the star. Absorption lines help astronomers identify the chemical composition of stars and other celestial objects.
They analyze the star's spectrum. Each element produces characteristic lines in a spectrum.
By the star's spectrum.
The spectrum of light from a star appears continuous, without gaps, because it is a result of the superposition of light emitted at different wavelengths. This continuous spectrum is produced as the star emits light across a range of wavelengths leading to a smooth distribution of colors in the spectrum.
