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
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
Why do black lines appear on a star's absorption spectrum?
The lines indicate which atoms are in the outer layers of stars. The location of the lines is always the same when they form.
What layer of the sun is responsible for the absorption of lines in the solar spectrum?
Light coming up from the centre of the Sun goes through the outer layer where it encounters absorbtion by elements in the outer layer, and this gives rise to absorbtion lines in the spectrum.
How do scientists use spectrographs?
They analyze the spectrum of a star's light and the black lines in the spectrum indicate different elements in the stars atmosphere. The same process can be used on planets and moons.
Narrow lines of colors with no light in between them are called what?
It is called an absorption spectrum.
Starlight passing through a device for separating light produces a display of colors and lines called a?
Spectrum
Continuous spectrum with dark lines where light is absorbed?
dark-line spectrum...
What is an atoms spectrum?
when a beam of white light is passed through the vapours or a gas, the element absorbs certain wavelengths, while the rest of wavelengths are passed through it. The spectrum of this radiation is called atomic absorption spectrum.The missing wavelengths appear as dark lines in the spectrum.
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
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 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
What do you call a light spectrum that is not continuous?
Discontinuous Spectra, Fraunhofer lines
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
Will the wavelength of light from a second order spectrum be more accurate than the first order spectrum?
lines fainter in second orderand the lines are further apart :)
Why do black lines appear on a star's absorption spectrum?
The lines indicate which atoms are in the outer layers of stars. The location of the lines is always the same when they form.
