Dark lines in an absorption spectrum are called?
Absorption lines
What is a band spectrum?
A band spectrum is an absorption or emission spectrum consisting of bands of closely-spaced lines, characteristic of polyatomic molecules.
Another name for spectrum?
Sweep, extent, scope, range, span, and orbit are all good synonyms for spectrum.
The visible spectrum of sunlight reflected from Saturn's cold moon Titan would be expected to be?
Absorption Spectrum
What is the absorption spectrum of NITROGEN DIOXIDE?
See this site for absorption spectra of many gasses; (check related link)
What causes spectra lines?
Absorption of energy at atom energy levels cause the line spectrum.
How does the number of lines in the emission spectrum for an element compare with the number of lines in the absorption spectrum?
An emission spectrum depend on electrons transition in the atom of a chemical element; and elements are different.Absorption spectrum is based on the different absorption pics of different molecules, depending on the frequency of radiation.Spectral methods are largely used in analytical chemistry.
Is an absorption spectrum also called a bright line spectrum?
No, its an absorption spectrum
What meant by an absorption spectrum?
In the absorption spectrum the peaks are due to preferential absorption at a definite wavelength by molecules, ions, etc.
Dark lines in an absorption spectrum are called?
Absorption lines
Which type of spectrum is associated with the radiation of most stars?
absorption spectrum
What conditions produce a dark-line spectrum?
An absorption spectrum can tell the astronomer or physicist what elements are in the starlight being observed. A diffraction grating is used to split the incoming light into a spectrum of colors. Sodium, for example, causes dark Fraunhofer lines at known points in the visible spectrum. Helium was discovered in the solar spectrum by Bunsen and Kirchoff using this technique. Hence the name derived from Helios for the Sun.
What does a stars dark line spectrum reveal?
The dark lines reveal the atoms that are associated with the stars atmosphere. The dark lines are atom energy absorption signatures.
What does a star's dark-line spectrum reveal?
The dark lines reveal the atoms that are associated with the stars atmosphere. The dark lines are atom energy absorption signatures.
What is meant by the absorption spectrum of a pigment?
The absorption spectrum of pigment is the molecules response to light. The color of the pigment depends on the wavelengths of light the do not absorb.
What is an absorption edge?
An absorption edge is the boundary of a dark bad in an x-ray spectrum.
What is the difference between an absorption and an emission spectrum?
Absorption spectrum is a gap in the overall spectrum. It happen when light makes an electron jump to a higher orbital and light energy is absorbed. Emission spectrum is light emitted at particular wavelengths (where the absorption spectrum gaps are). It happens when an electron falls from a higher orbital and emits light energy in doing so.
