The bright line emission spectrum tells us the amount of energy between the exited and ground state. When electrons move from an exited state to a ground state, radiant energy of a specific frequency is emitted this creates spectral lines.

What kind of spectrum is used to determine the composition of a planet's atmosphere?

An absorption spectrum is typically used to determine the composition of a planet's atmosphere. This type of spectrum shows specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by different gases in the atmosphere, allowing scientists to identify the presence of specific elements or compounds.


What does the absorption spectrum show us or tell us?

The absorption spectrum shows the specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by a material, indicating the energy levels of electrons in the substance. By analyzing the absorption spectrum, scientists can identify the chemical composition of the material and understand its electronic structure.


Is an absorption spectrum also called a bright line spectrum?

No, an absorption spectrum and a bright line spectrum are not the same. An absorption spectrum is produced when light is absorbed by atoms or molecules, showing dark lines at specific wavelengths. On the other hand, a bright line spectrum is produced when atoms or molecules emit light at specific wavelengths, creating bright lines in the spectrum.

What Causes a line in a line spectrum?

Wavelengths of absorbed or emitted photons Every line in a line spectrum is caused by a transition, from one quantum state to another quantum state, involving electrons.


How can you tell that some galaxies are far away and moving rapidly towards us?

You can tell by the blueshift in the spectrum; the only reasonable explanation for this blueshift is the Doppler effect. - Please note that most galaxies are moving away from us, not towards us.


What is a dark line found in a spectrum is called?

A dark line found in a spectrum is called an absorption line. Absorption lines are created when atoms or molecules absorb specific wavelengths of light, resulting in dark lines in the spectrum where that light is missing.
