How do emission and absorption spectrums tell us about the composition of objects in our universe?
Each chemical element has a specific emission or absorption spectrum.
Spectrum gives the what of the star's gases?
An absorption spectrum can tell the astronomer or physicist what elements are in the starlight being observed. A diffraction grating is used to split the incoming light into a spectrum of colors. Sodium, for example, causes dark Fraunhofer lines at known points in the visible spectrum. Helium was discovered in the solar spectrum by Bunsen and Kirchoff using this technique. Hence the name derived from Helios for the Sun.
What can a star's spectrum tell us?
scientists can tell the stars composition and temperature from its spectrum. Hope tht helps :]
What are Organelles containing pigments in the cells of plants?
As far as I can tell from my Biology book, the photosynthetic pigments are located in the thylakoids in plants.
What kind of spectrum is used to determine the composition of a planet's atmosphere?
dark line spectrum
Figure 10.1 shows the absorption spectrum for chlorophyll a and the action spectrum for photosynthesis Why are they different?
The absorption spectrum shows which wave lengths are absorbed in each individual type of chlorophyll. The action spectrum shows which wavelengths of light are most effective for photosynthesis.

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.
What conditions produce a dark-line spectrum?
An absorption spectrum can tell the astronomer or physicist what elements are in the starlight being observed. A diffraction grating is used to split the incoming light into a spectrum of colors. Sodium, for example, causes dark Fraunhofer lines at known points in the visible spectrum. Helium was discovered in the solar spectrum by Bunsen and Kirchoff using this technique.

How to tell if you have a used 4160e transmission?
how to tell if the transmission is a 4160e. are there numbers on transmission or something to identify the transmission

Why might scientists mainly astronomers study the color of metals in a flame?
The colours with which an element (metal or other) burns in a flame are the same colours which are absorbed by that element in the sun's spectrum. The colours are very specific to each element and show up as distinct black lines in the solar spectrum. By studying the spectrum it is possible to tell what elements are in the sun [or star] and also their relative abundance.If a star is moving away from us absorption lines are red-shifted [move towards the red end of the spectrum]. The faster the star is moving away, the greater the red-shift. Also, as Hubble discovered, the greater the red-shift, the further away the star is. So the red shift in the absorption spectrum is a measure of not only how fast the star is receding from us but also how far it is. This allows us to tell whether two stars which are apparently in the same direction are actually close together or simply a coincidental alignment of their lines of sight.
How do you tell if its a transmission leak?
Check fluid level in transmission
