Is an instrument used by astronomer to study heavenly bodies and is used to determine the composition of the heavenly bodies through their color patterns?

A spectrometer.


What tools are used to identify the wavelengths of visible light?

A spectrometer, or your eyes. Each color is a different wavelength, if you learn what the wavelengths are for different colors, eventually, you can estimate fairly accurately by sight. In order to identify color, you need a spectrometer and another information source. The information source would be a listing of wavelengths that correspond to a color. In chemistry, you cannot just use your eyes to determine a color, because color is an opinion that can vary between people. Instead, you use the spectrometer to find the wavelength, then determine what color the light is using a wavelength/color chart. The visible light spectrum is between 400nm - 700nm. A good chart and background info is: <http://www.cem.msu.edu/~reusch/VirtualText/Spectrpy/UV-Vis/spectrum.htm>


What device may eliminate the inaccuracy of using only flame color to identify an element?

This is a spectrometer.


What is the difference between photometer and spectrometer?

The difference between the photometer and the spectrometer is a matter of complexity. Both are used to measure color absorbency quantitatively, but photometers are much simpler in design, having fewer parts, and as such are less expensive and easier to obtain. They're usually not quite as detailed in results as a spectrometer, however.


What instrument can be used to determine the identity of an element if its flame color is the same of another element?

Mass spectrometer would work.

What makes something a sex linked trait instead of just a regular trait?

A sex linked trait can only be found on the x chromosome such as hemophilia, color blindness, and muscular dystrophy. These are traits that can only be inherited through chromosomes instead of regular traits coming through genes.

What is a 4 color offset press?

A 4 color offset press has separate plate and blanket stations for each of 4 different colors. Paper sheets are 'fed' into one end of the press and go through each of the 4 color stations in sequence automatically. Similarly, a 2 or 6 color press have 2 or 6 individual stations.
