Do magnetic field lines close together indicate a weaker magnetic field?
no they are not
How could straight copper wire produce magnetic field lines?
The copper by itself will do nothing of the sort. It will be surrounded by magnetic field lines if a current flows through it. It is the current that produces the magnetic field lines.
does magnetic field lines cross?
Never
Why are the magnetic field lines on the sun distorted?
Different latitudes of the sun rotate at different speeds. This tends to twist and bend the magnetic field lines.
What are the dark lines in a stellar spectrum are called?
Fraunhofer realised that some of these dark lines were at the same position in effect called the Zeeman effect can also cause splitting of the spectral lines.
What is the splitting of spectral lines called?
Spectroscopy.
What does zeeman effect mean?
The splitting of single spectral lines of an emission or absorption spectrum of a substance into three or more components when the substance is placed in a magnetic field. The effect occurs when several electron orbitals in the same shell, which normally have the same energy level, have different energies due to their different orientations in the magnetic field. A normal Zeeman effectis observed when a spectral line of an atom splits into three lines under a magnetic field. An anomalous Zeeman effectis observed if the spectral line splits into more than three lines. Astronomers can use the Zeeman effect to measure magnetic fields of stars. Compare Stark effect.
What is the zeeman effect?
The Zeeman effect is the splitting of single spectral lines into three or more in the presence of a magnetic field.
Who introduced the concept of elliptical orbits to explain the splitting of the spectral lines?
Arnold Sommerfeld
What are the lines called that map out the magnetic field around magnetic?
They are called the magnetic field lines.
What can be determined by studying a solar spectrum?
Dark lines of the absorption spectrum give the elemental composition of the chromosphere, information about the magnetic field and density of the surface. The peak of the continuous spectrum gives the surface temperature. The Doppler Effect shows the movement of the sun and the sun's surface. Splitting of spectral lines verifies the magnetism of sunspots.
Where do magnetic field lines cross?
Magnetic field lines don't cross.
A magnetic field is described by magnetic lines of?
Lines of Force
What are the lines called that the map out the magnetic field around a magnet?
They are called the magnetic field lines.
What type of magnetic field lines represent uniform magnetic field?
straight parallel lines
A current in a long straight wire produces a magnetic field. These magnetic field lines?
The magnetic field lines are arranged circularly around the wire.
What does the relative density of lines of a magnetic field tell us about the strength of the field?
The closer the lines the stronger the magnetic field.
