What do the bright lines in a bright light spectrum tell us?
to identify elements
Can the pattern of dark lines recorded by a spectrograph be used to identify the elements that are in the stars atmosphere?
Yes. Dark lines are absorption lines, they are due to relatively cool matter (such as that which might be found in a star's atmosphere as opposed to being in the body of the star itself), and each element has a characteristic pattern.
What is a spectral signature?
A spectral pattern is basically a line of dark or bright colors that continue on and never stop. These patterns and lines can be used to identify gases and lights.
Does Every element and compound in nature have a unique set of spectral lines?
Elements have several spectral lines and although some lines may be the same between different elements most lines are not and the whole spectrum for each element is indeed unique.
Can the spectral lines for two different elements be identical?
no, it is impossible
What do the bright lines in a bright light spectrum tell us?
to identify elements
How are elements identified fro bright 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
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
In what ways is the pattern of lines in a stars absorption spectrum unique?
because all of the different lines of a star's elements appear together i its spectrum, making the pattern different everytime
What type of spectrum does an incandescent light produce?
There are no bright lines and no dark lines in the spectrum, incandescent light has a continuous spectrum with all visible colors present
Which best explains the concept of pattern?
a repeated arrangement of elements, such as colors, lines, sizes, forms, or shapes
Can the pattern of dark lines recorded by a spectrograph be used to identify the elements that are in the stars atmosphere?
Yes. Dark lines are absorption lines, they are due to relatively cool matter (such as that which might be found in a star's atmosphere as opposed to being in the body of the star itself), and each element has a characteristic pattern.
What is a spectral signature?
A spectral pattern is basically a line of dark or bright colors that continue on and never stop. These patterns and lines can be used to identify gases and lights.
What instrument is used to tell what a star is made of?
Spectrometers are used for this. By looking at the spectrum of light coming from the star, scientists can tell which elements are in the star by the pattern of lines that are known to be associated with certain elements.
What conditions are necessary for two light waves to form an interference pattern of bright lines and dark areas?
State two necessary conditions for formation ofinterference fringes.
What do the pattern of lines in a stars absorption spectrum represent?
read the Earth science book you will find the answer
The specific term for a series of lines arranged together in a recurring pattern with rhythm and meter is .?
Stanza :)
