Emission spectrum of the elements placed in the flame. The flame test is usually applied when Sodium, Potassium or other such metals are thought to be present since they give a very noticeable result - Sodium gives orange colour to the flame (as it does to sodium street lighting!) - Potassium gives a lilac colour etc
In molecules, there are bonds. When they are exposed to infra-red radiation, different bonds absorb the infra-red radiation at different wavelengths. In the observed spectrum, there are "bond stretches", where the observed intensity of certain wavelengths drops due to the absorption. By comparing these "stretches" with a data-booklet, you can see which bonds the molecules have. This is called Infra-red Spectroscopy.
Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves ... physically and functionally identical to radio, light, heat, etc. ... with the highest observed frequencies (shortest observed wavelengths). In experiments designed to reveal the particle nature of electromagnetic radiation, gamma ray particles (photons) have the highest observed photon energies.
No.Diffraction is the change in the direction and intensity of a group of waves after passing an obstacle or passing through an aperture whose size is comparable to the wavelength of the waves.It can be observed in mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves as well as in matter waves.When a beam of light falls on the edge of an object, it bends slightly due to the contact and causes a blur at the edge of the shadow of the object. Waves of longer wavelengths are diffracted more than those of shorter wavelengths.
Visible light is electromagnetic radiation. Use the link below to read more. There's a whole world of knowledge in the nature and behavior of light, but it is something that can be understood. After all, it's not rocket science.
The lines in a spectroscope tell what element(s) are being observed. The continuous color are background noise or put there for a reference.
The dark bands are caused from the differnet chemical elements which absorb light at specific wavelengths.

Astronomers conclude that the universe is expanding, because wavelengths are increasing.
Not a god danm thing it's utterly pointless don't even bother chemistry isn't even important.

It depends a bit on what radiation wavelengths are observed. The basic answer is Jupiter and Saturn.
A "redshift" is a change in the light observed from a source to longer wavelengths. That's a change from the blue end of the spectrum to the red end of the spectrum. A "blueshift" is the opposite. It's a change towards shorter wavelengths.
Carotenoids have conjugated bonds. Wavelengths of visible light are absorbed when electrons are excited to higher energy levels. The complementary colour is to that absorbed is observed.

Pulsars are best observed in the radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is because their strong radio emission allows them to be detected and studied using radio telescopes. However, pulsars have also been observed at other frequencies, including X-ray and gamma-ray wavelengths.
