To read a spectrograph, interpret the x-axis as frequency or wavelength, the y-axis as intensity, and the colors or patterns as different spectral lines corresponding to different elements or compounds. Peaks or dips in intensity indicate the presence of specific emissions or absorptions at certain frequencies or wavelengths.
What else can I help you with?
Why do scientists use a spectrograph?
because they want to
What is a calutron?
An electromagnetic apparatus for separating isotopes of uranium and other elements according to their masses, using the principle of the mass spectrograph. It lost me at 'mass spectrograph'.
An istrument that breaks the light from an object into colors?
A spectrograph can do that.
What is the detector in a spectrograph in which spectral lines are recorded photographically?
The detector in a spectrograph that records spectral lines photographically is a photographic plate or film. This photographic medium captures the light from the spectral lines dispersed by the spectrograph, allowing them to be recorded for analysis and interpretation.
Can a spectrograph tell the age of a star?
Yes, but not to any precision.
What do spectrograph do?
A spectroscope identifies the elements by the color that they give off.
What does a spectrograph help determine?
The elemental composition of the materiel forming the spectrum.
How does a spectrograph provide information about stars chemical composition?
A spectrograph breaks down the light from stars into its component colors or wavelengths. Each chemical element absorbs and emits light at specific wavelengths, creating a unique fingerprint called a spectral line. By analyzing the spectral lines in a star's light, scientists can determine its chemical composition.
What space gadgets is used by astronomers?
telescopes, spectrograph's, screw drivers, and lots of Physics!
What does a spectograph tell us?
A spectrograph tells us which colors (wavelengths of light) are in a luminous source.
Change of color on the spectrograph as objects move toward or away from other objects?
Doppler shift
The spectrum of a star is called a what?
... a photonic 'fingerprint'. The picture of a star's spectral lines is its photo-spectrograph.
