What are other characteristic properties that may be helpful to identify elements or types of matter list at least two and briefly describe them?
Examples:- chemical composition- emission spectrum- X-rays lines- melting point- color- densityand many other
Why are there empty spaces in the emission spectrum?
"Emission Spectrum" can mean a number of things... Many objects emit light and they all have an emission spectrum, that is a set of wavelengths of light that they give out. The emission spectrum for an L.E.D. bulb for instance is pretty narrow, just one visible colour. The emission spectrum of a star is very wide, encompassing non-visible light as well. It is probably these stellar emission spectra you are referring to, so I'll go on from that assumption. The fusion processes within a star (at most levels from core to surface, but mostly in the core) create most of a spectrum, but some of this light is absorbed by the outermost layers. That is why we see gaps, and molecules of certain types absorb certain parts of the spectrum, so we use the spectrum to determine composition. We also see spectra from diffuse bodies like nebulae. These are, broadly, of 2 types, emission and absorption. Absorption spectra occur when we observe a known star through the cloud, and extra lines missing beyond what we expect of the star will be emblematic of the constituents of the cloud. Emission spectra from clouds can also occur, that is when the light falling on them is not aligned with us, what we see is several narrow bands of light, which has been absorbed and re-emitted by the cloud.
Will everyone see all the lines in all the emission spectra of these elements?
Many catalogues of emission spectroscopy lines are published. These lines are not visible on all types of instruments.
How do you know what elements are found in a star by studying the star?
By studying the light from the stars. This is accomplished by examining closely the 'emission spectrum' that is obtained by passing the Light gathered by the telescope through a Prism which then in turn provides the Spectrogram. Absorbtion Spectrums identify the types of substances that make up the interstellar clouds that the Light passes through!
How does the electromagnetic spectrum organize the different types of energy waves?
The electromagnetic spectrum organizes different types of electromagnetic waves according to their wavelength or frequency.
What are two types of bright nebulae?
emission nebulae and reflection nebulae.
What are The Two types of bright nebulae?
emission nebulae and reflection nebulae.
What does spdf stand for in chemistry?
s: sharp p: principal d: diffuse f: fundamental Physicists who were studying the electromagentic spectrum tried to describe the emission lines as they corrolated with energy states involved. They described the emission lines as sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental.
What are the two main types of bright nebulae?
emission nebulae and reflection nebulae.
How does gamma emission differ from all the other types of decay?
Yes, it is true.
Name three types of power units in HEV?
Trade-offs reveal better emission control for series hybrid vehicles, while parallel hybrid vehicles with different drive trains may significantly reduce fuel consumption as well.
What types of governments did great Britain have?
Feudalistic Monarchy dictatorship parlimentory (of a whole spectrum of types as it developed)
