  2. Spectrum (physical sciences) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_(physical_sciences)

    In physics, the energy spectrum of a particle is the number of particles or intensity of a particle beam as a function of particle energy. Examples of techniques that produce an energy spectrum are alpha-particle spectroscopy , electron energy loss spectroscopy , and mass-analyzed ion-kinetic-energy spectrometry .

  3. Spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum

    The spectrum in a rainbow. A spectrum (pl.: spectra or spectrums) [1] is a condition that is not limited to a specific set of values but can vary, without gaps, across a continuum. The word spectrum was first used scientifically in optics to describe the rainbow of colors in visible light after passing through a prism.

  4. Spectral theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_theory

    With these definitions, the resolvent set of T is the set of all complex numbers ζ such that R ζ exists and is bounded. This set often is denoted as ρ(T). The spectrum of T is the set of all complex numbers ζ such that R ζ fails to exist or is unbounded. Often the spectrum of T is denoted by σ(T).

  5. Spectral analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_analysis

    Spectral analysis or spectrum analysis is analysis in terms of a spectrum of frequencies or related quantities such as energies, eigenvalues, etc. In specific areas it may refer to: Spectroscopy in chemistry and physics, a method of analyzing the properties of matter from their electromagnetic interactions

  6. Spectral line shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line_shape

    Absorption spectrum of an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate.The spectrum consists of a series of overlapping lines belonging to a vibronic progression. Spectral line shape or spectral line profile describes the form of an electromagnetic spectrum in the vicinity of a spectral line – a region of stronger or weaker intensity in the spectrum.

  8. Discrete spectrum (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Discrete_spectrum_(Mathematics)

    In mathematics, specifically in spectral theory, a discrete spectrum of a closed linear operator is defined as the set of isolated points of its spectrum such that the rank of the corresponding Riesz projector is finite.

  9. Spectrum (functional analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_(functional_analysis)

    In mathematics, particularly in functional analysis, the spectrum of a bounded linear operator (or, more generally, an unbounded linear operator) is a generalisation of the set of eigenvalues of a matrix.
