Spectra is the plural of Spectrum. Scope meaning a device to assist seeing.

Spectra or spectrum is what we see. There are light waves beyond our sense of seeing. we see light/colors in the visible spectrum. Below that we have Infra Red. Above the visible spectrum we begin with Ultra Violet. These are frequencies of the light. Frequency meaning how fast something is changing.

White light is considered to be a combination of all of the colors of the spectrum.

When a white light shines upon an object, we see the color or colors that are reflected to our eye. A spectra scope does the same thing, but is normally equiped with measuring tools that telll us the specific wave length or frequency of light within the received spectrum.

If a light bulb is turned off and you shine a flashlight on it, you will see the filiment and a spectrascope could tell you all about the light that is being seen.

If you turn on the light bulb, it emits light. Thus, a spectrascope can see light reflecting or refracting from something that is illuminated by some other source/s. A spectrascope can see light given off by an object that is not illuminated by another source or sources.

Answer: A spectrascope measures the light given off by everything that emits within the sprectrum that the spectrascope is capable of measuring.

Hope that helps. Have a wonderful day. Bob

A spectroscope studies what energy?

A spectroscope studies the energy emitted or absorbed by different materials. It breaks down light into its component colors (spectrum) to analyze the specific wavelengths present, which can provide information about the composition and properties of the material being studied.

What wavelengths of light are indicated by the following scale readings observed through a hand spectroscope?

To determine the wavelengths of light indicated by scale readings observed through a hand spectroscope, refer to the calibration markings on the spectroscope. Each marking corresponds to a specific wavelength of light. By aligning the observed scale reading with the markings on the spectroscope, you can identify the wavelength of the light being observed.
