What else can I help you with?
What does spectograph do?
A Spectograph breaks light into colors and produces and image of the resulting spectrum.
What is hubbies spectograph?
nothing
What is a spectograph?
an apparatus for photographing or otherwise recording spectra
What is an instrument that breaks the light from an object into colors?
a spectograph
What is the instrument that breaks the light from an object into color?
a spectograph
What objects can brake light into colors?
i would use a glass prism or a spectograph
What does a spectograph tell us?
A spectrograph tells us which colors (wavelengths of light) are in a luminous source.
What do scientists us to break visible light from a star into its component colors?
A grating or a prism
What instrument is used to view different colors of light?
The simplest instrument would be a prism. However, a "spectograph" is a word used to represent several different types of machines, usually used to separate incoming waves (such as light waves) into a frequency spectrum. A spectograph is sometimes called a "polychromator."
How does a spectrometer measure light?
Scientists use tools to help them understand the universe, galaxies, stars, and planets. A major tool used to gather information about these objects is called a spectroscope. The scientific techniquie that utilizes the spectroscoe is called spectroscopy Spectroscopy is a technique used to help scientists determine the composition of objects made up of hot incandescent gases (like stars) and cool gases (like planetary atmospheres). Spectroscopes or spectrometers are used to analyze the amounts and types of spectral light that comes from these objects Spectroscopes break down the light emitted or absorbed by chemical elements into specific lines of color. Every chemical element has a "fingerprint" of its own that can be used to identify it. These fingerprints are generally produced when electrons change orbital levels as they gain or lose energy. Different energies produce different colored lines.
What is the instruments to determine the altitude of the north star?
there are loads. 1.Telescopes. 2.Spectroscopes 3. Radio Telescopes 4.Xray telescopes 5. gamma ray telescopes 6 infra red telescopes 7. parallax 8. space telescopes
What space shuttle mission repaired the HST?
There have been 5 total HST Servicing Missions, though SM1 is the only one considered a "Repair" mission as well. I was privileged to work on all but the final one.NASA preferred to use either Discovery or Endeavour for repairs since they have larger bays and can hold more equipment. The missions were:First Servicing/Repair Mission - SM-1/1993: STS-61 - Biggest repair was COSTAR, the corrective optics that compensated for the mirror flaw. I worked on the electronics for it.Second Servicing Mission - SM-2/1997 - STS-82 - Added STIS, NICMOS camera, Solid State Recorder (where today's SSD technology came from), Fine Guidance Sensor, and electronic upgrades. I worked on a LOT of stuff for that mission, including new tools used to service it.Third Servicing Mission - SM-3A/1999 - STS-103 - Originally designed to be just one mission, SM3 was split into two separate missions after it was determined within a few months of mission launch that 3 of HST's 4 gyros had failed. HST's gyros are essential for telescope pointing and maintaining control during observations; without them, HST is essentially space junk.A quick gyro replacement mission was called up, and most of the equipment slated for installation on the original mission had to wait until 3B.A bit of trivia on the 3rd mission; originally, mission patches and decals were made showing just the original SM3 mission and insignia. It was later changed to 2 separate missions with different designations, crew, and insignia, so if you ever run across the original, it's a collector's item. I still have several SM3 decals from before the mission change.Fourth Servicing Mission - SM-3B/2002 - STS-109 - Installed the NICMOS Cooling System and associated hardware, Advanced Camera for Surveys, and other items. The NCS program took a lot of my time, and was the last major HST program I worked on. You can see pics of it on my bio page.Fifth Servicing Mission - SM-4/2009 - STS-125 - Installed Cosmic Origins Spectograph and Wide-Field Camera 3, the replacement for the WFPC (Wide Field Planetary Camera) installed on SM-2. Repairs to STIS and the ACS were also performed.For more info, see the NASA link below.
