Is it true that each element has a unique set of lines on a spectrum?
Yes , every element has different line in the spectrum.
What is a line spectrum used for?
The line spectrum is usually used to sort out the atomic fingerprint as the gas emit light at very specific frequencies when exposed to the electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic waves are usually displayed in form of the spectral lines.
Why line spectrum is called finger print spectrum?
It is unique to a specific atom. The emission spectrum of sodium, for example, has two characteristic lines close together in the yellow part of the spectrum, which cannot be found in any other atom. Each line in a spectrum relates to a change in electron state or level.
What are dark lines in a stellar spectrum called?
The dark lines are absorption spectrum, the energy absorbed by Atoms in the atmosphere of the star. ================================ Fraunhofer's spectral lines.
Dark lines in an absorption spectrum are called?
Absorption lines
What were dark lines in the spectrum named for?
Dark lines especially in solar spectrum have been named as Fraunhofer lines. These line are good examples for line absorption spectrum
Continuous spectrum with dark lines where light is absorbed?
dark-line spectrum...
Why can the bright-line spectrum of an element be used to identify an element?
The wave lengths of lines of the spectrum are different for each chemical element.
How does the color of the flame correspond to the distinct lines in its spectrum?
The color in the flame is the representation of a specific line in the spectrum.
Is it true that each element has a unique set of lines on a spectrum?
Yes , every element has different line in the spectrum.
What is a line spectrum used for?

What is main difference between prism spectrum and grating spectrum?
Prism spectrum is formed due to DISPERSION but grating spectrum is formed due to DIFFRACTION. In prism spectrum we have only one order but in grating spectrum we can have second order too IN prism spectrum we have continuous spectrum but in gratings we have only line spectrum In prism spectrum red end will be closer to the direct ray but in grating spectrum violet end will be closer to the direct ray
What causes lines in a line spectrum?
Wavelengths of absorbed or emitted photons Every line in a line spectrum is caused by a transition, from one quantum state to another quantum state, involving electrons.
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.
What causes spectra lines?
Absorption of energy at atom energy levels cause the line spectrum.
Why elements give line spectrum?
Because the spectra of elements is determined by the energy of transitions of electrons between two allowed quantum states. Since these energy differences can have only certain specified values, the spectrum consists of lines: The spectrum frequency values intermediate between the lines do not correspond to transitions between any two allowed quantum states and therefore do not appear in the spectrum
Which element did Bohr study the line emission spectrum of?
Niels Bohr studied the emission lines of Hydrogen.
