Joseph Von Fraunhofer as a German physicist who independently discovered (or rediscovered) dark "lines" in the emission spectra of the light emitted by the Sun. Fraunhofer carefully cataloged the precise frequencies of the light that was NOT being emitted by the Sun.
Many years later, two other scientists realized that these colors of light were associated with the spectra of particular elements present in the Sun.

∙ 11y agoThe English chemist William Hyde Wollaston was in 1802 the first person to note the appearance of a number of dark features in the solar spectrum. In 1814, the German physicist Joseph von Fraunhofer independently rediscovered the lines and began a systematic study and careful measurement of the wavelength of these features.

What does the presence of dark lines in the solar spectrum mean?
The dark lines represents the absorption of energy at that frequency, E=hf.
What is the relationship between electromagnetic spectrum light and sight?
Anything that can reflect light is only visible to an eye... others which cannot are dark..
What is the title of the last episode of wizards vs angels?
If your talking about WoWP then you are exactly right it's called Wizards vs. Angles
How do you get the key of darkness in the tale of the abyss?

Who is the angonist of Harry Potter books?
The main antagonist of the Harry Potter Series is Lord Voldemort aka The Dark Lord, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, You-Know-Who, and Tom Marvolo Riddle.
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
What part of the star is responsible for the dark lines in its spectrum?
Atoms in the atmosphere of the star is responsible for the dark lines in its spectrum.
Continuous spectrum with dark lines where light is absorbed?
dark-line 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.
Is it true that The dark lines of the spectrum were named for Kirchhoff?
No. You're thinking of Fraunhofer. A natural slip for English speakers.
Dark lines in an absorption spectrum are called?
Absorption lines
What are the Dark lines that appear in a spectrum of light from a star called?
absorption lines! :)
What does the presence of dark lines in the solar spectrum mean?
The dark lines represents the absorption of energy at that frequency, E=hf.
Why can elements in a star be separated?
Because the spectrum of the star's light can be seen to have dark lines all the way through, and each element has its own set of dark lines in the star's spectrum.
What does a star's dark-line spectrum reveal?
The dark lines reveal the atoms that are associated with the stars atmosphere. The dark lines are atom energy absorption signatures.
What does a stars dark line spectrum reveal?
The dark lines reveal the atoms that are associated with the stars atmosphere. The dark lines are atom energy absorption signatures.
What is s band spectrum?
Band spectrum is the spectrum given by the molecules. It consists of series of closely spaced lines known as bands separated by the dark spaces.
