A low-density, high-temperature gas cloud would emit a continuous spectrum. This spectrum shows a broad range of wavelengths without any distinct lines, characteristic of thermal radiation emitted by hot objects.

What is the total collection of photons emitted by a given atom?

The total collection of photons emitted by a given atom is known as its emission spectrum. This spectrum consists of photons with specific energies corresponding to transitions between different energy levels of the atom. The emission spectrum is unique to each element and can be used to identify elements based on the pattern of emitted photons.


What is the unit of measurement for a cloud cover?

Cloud cover is usually given as a percentage, there is no unit of measure.


What is the difference between temperature and climate?

Temperature is a measure of the thermal energy in the air at any given moment. Climate is the long term trend of weather that includes a number of factors including average annual and seasonal temperatures, humidity, precipitation and cloud cover.


What is the electromagnetic spectrum of fire?

During a flame test the electrons of the metal tested absorb some of the heat and jump to a higher energy level. The electrons then settle back to a lower, mosre stable level, releasing the energy as light of a given wavelength.


What is the peak wavelength of radiation?

This question has a real subtlety in it. The simplest answer is given by Wein's Law, sometimes called Wein's Displacement Law: The peak of the spectrum for any "blackbody" (this works approximately for stars and people, basically any opaque object). Wavelength of peak emission = (Stefan's constant, which you can look up) x 0.0029meter / temperature in Kelvins. According to this formula, the peak is in the green part of the spectrum. But a lot of light is given off across the visual part of the spectrum so it looks whitish to me. Here's the subtlety that few people realize. This all works only when you plot the spectrum as the emission per unit wavelength. You can also plot the emission per unit frequency. Then the peak is at a different location!

Why is the suns spectrum and the moon's spectrum the same?

The sun and the moon's spectra are not the same. The Sun's spectrum shows continuous radiation across a range of wavelengths due to its high temperature, while the moon's spectrum shows reflected sunlight with absorption lines due to its lack of inherent light source. They have different compositions and physical properties affecting their spectra.

The name given to a towering cloud that has not fully developed into a thunderstorm is a cumulus congestus cloud. These clouds are large, puffy clouds with vertical growth, indicating instability in the atmosphere.


What is the absorbance spectrum of the given compound and where does the lambda max fall on the spectrum?

The absorbance spectrum of a compound shows how much light it absorbs at different wavelengths. The lambda max, or maximum absorbance, is the point on the spectrum where the compound absorbs the most light.


Is the colour of the ultra violet spectrum violet if not why was it given that name?

The ultraviolet spectrum is 'beyond' (ultra) the violet part of the visible spectrum, that is, beyond the short end of the wavelength range. The infrared spectrum is 'within' (infra) the long end of the wavelength range. The two terms have nothing to do with color, which defines the visible spectrum between violet and red.
