Why was the study of line spectra useful in the discovery of new elements?

The bright line spectrum is useful because it shows us the different particles in the elements.


When was Line Spectra created?

Line Spectra was created in 2006.


What is special about the bright line spectra for a gas?

Gas comes out of peoples butts so when you look at its spectrum it has a green stinky color since gas or "farts" smeel and have a natural color of green.


Stars produce different spectra mainly because?

The cavity radiation spectrum comes from surface temperature. Bright line (emission) spectra come from hot elements near the surface. Dark line (absorption) spectra come from cooler elements further out. Because they're at different temperatures and have slightly different elemental ratios, each star produces a unique "fingerprint".


What does the term bright line spectrum mean?

There are several kinds of spectra. Bright line spectrum, or emission spectrum, is when light emitted by a gas has an electrical discharge going through it, and it produces a spectrum of just a few isolated parallel lines.


How can you Distinguish absorption spectrum from emission spectrum?

Emission spectra are bright-line spectra, absorption spectra are dark-line spectra. That is: an emission spectrum is a series of bright lines on a dark background. An absorption spectrum is a series of dark lines on a normal spectrum (rainbow) background.


What do you call a prism spreading out light into colors?

It is called Visible light Spectrum.


What kind of spectrum do dark lines appear against a bright a bright background of colors ranging from red to blue?

Dark-line spectrum is a "photo-negative" of emission spectrum. It is the gaps that appear in precisely the same location as corresponding bright lines. produced by a cool gas with a hot solid and you


How are the elements identified from bright light line spectra?

Each type of atom gives off a unique set of colors. The colored lines (or Spectral Lines ) are a kind of "signature" for the atoms

Is an absorption spectrum also called a bright line spectrum?

No, its an absorption spectrum


What year did the spectra exposure meter came out?

It depends on what you consider the Spectra meter. The original was called the Norwood Director and it came out in 1946 and was manufactured by a company called Photo Research (which did and does make the Spectra line of meters). In 1948, a redesigned Norwood Director was manufactured and sold through American Bolex. Photo Research continued to make the original Norwood as the "Spectra." So it's 1946 or 1948, depending on where you want to start counting.
