Different atoms have a different number of electrons. This is why they show different spectra.

Can light be split into it s different types of radiation using a light prism?

Yes, a prism can split light into its different types of radiation, such as visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared light. This separation occurs because different wavelengths of light refract at different angles as they pass through the prism, creating a spectrum of colors.


Locate the two different types of source and destination?

The two different types of source are primary and secondary sources. Primary sources provide first-hand information, like original research or documents. Secondary sources analyze or interpret primary sources and provide commentary or analysis.


What are different types of stars?

Satars are classified according to their spectra and surface temperature. The classifications of temperature are the letters O, B, A, F, G, K, and M.


What are different types of sources?

Primary sources are original materials such as letters, diaries, and photographs that provide a first-hand account of an event. Secondary sources are interpretations and analysis of primary sources, such as books or articles written by historians. Tertiary sources are compilations of primary and secondary sources, such as encyclopedias or textbooks.


What are two sources of visible light waves?

A primary light source is one that actually produces light, such as a light bulb or the sun. A secondary light source in one that ONLY reflects the light produced by a primary light source. It doesn't produce light itself, such as a mirror or the moon.

How are different types types of spectra created?

The different types of spectra are created by light shining through a prism, a glowing solid or liquid, or by a compressed/non-compressed glowing glass.


Does every light source emit only one type of light, or can some light sources emit multiple types of light?

Some light sources can emit multiple types of light, such as white light sources that emit a combination of different colors.


What are the different types of visible light sources available for everyday use?

The different types of visible light sources available for everyday use include incandescent bulbs, fluorescent tubes, LED lights, and halogen lamps.


What are the different types of light sources used in photography to enhance the quality of images?

The different types of light sources used in photography to enhance image quality include natural light, artificial light sources like studio lights, flash units, and continuous lighting. Each type of light source has its own unique characteristics and can be used to create different effects in photographs.


What produces a continuous spectrum and how does it differ from other types of spectra?

A continuous spectrum is produced by a hot, dense object emitting light at all wavelengths. It differs from other types of spectra, like emission and absorption spectra, which only show specific wavelengths of light emitted or absorbed by atoms or molecules.


How many light sources do you know?

I am aware of various types of light sources such as incandescent bulbs, fluorescent lights, LED bulbs, and candle flames. Each light source produces illumination through different mechanisms and properties.


What materials are associated with different kinds of electromagnetic spectra?

Different materials interact with different kinds of electromagnetic spectra in various ways. For example, visible light is absorbed and reflected by colored pigments, while X-rays are absorbed by dense materials like bone. Infrared radiation is emitted by warm objects, and radio waves can be absorbed or refracted by different types of materials.


How Many types of Infrared Spectra?

There are three main types of infrared spectra: absorption spectra, emission spectra, and reflection spectra. Absorption spectra are produced when a material absorbs infrared energy, emission spectra are produced when a material emits infrared radiation, and reflection spectra result from the reflection of infrared radiation off a material.


What are the two main types of light?

Light (electromagnetic radiation) forms a continuous spectrum there are no two main types.


What are the different types of photography light sources and how do they impact the quality of the image?

There are three main types of photography light sources: natural light, artificial light, and mixed light. Natural light comes from the sun and can create soft or harsh shadows depending on the time of day. Artificial light includes studio lights, flash, and continuous lighting, which can be adjusted to control the intensity and direction of light. Mixed light is a combination of natural and artificial light sources. The type of light source used can greatly impact the quality of the image by affecting the color temperature, contrast, and overall mood of the photograph.


How can history reconstruct what medieval villages look like?

Using different types of sources you can have a close guess to what medival villages looked like. For example, aerial photography, written sources(E.G.diaries), illustrations, and etc. All these types of sources, but as a historian, you will need to use a few, but different types of sources to confirm!!


What are the limitations of the unconventional sources of energy?

There are different types of "unconventional sources"; each has its own benefits and limitations.
