  2. Spectral line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line

    By contrast, a bright emission line is produced when photons from a hot material are detected, perhaps in the presence of a broad spectrum from a cooler source. The intensity of light, over a narrow frequency range, is increased due to emission by the hot material.

  3. Balmer series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balmer_series

    The "visible" hydrogen emission spectrum lines in the Balmer series. H-alpha is the red line at the right. Four lines (counting from the right) are formally in the visible range. Lines five and six can be seen with the naked eye, but are considered to be ultraviolet as they have wavelengths less than 400 nm.

  4. Emission spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_spectrum

    The production of line spectra by the atoms of an element indicate that an atom can radiate only a certain amount of energy. This leads to the conclusion that bound electrons cannot have just any amount of energy but only a certain amount of energy. The emission spectrum can be used to determine the composition of a material, since it is ...

  5. Hydrogen spectral series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_spectral_series

    The four visible hydrogen emission spectrum lines in the Balmer series. H-alpha is the red line at the right. The Balmer series includes the lines due to transitions from an outer orbit n > 2 to the orbit n' = 2. Named after Johann Balmer, who discovered the Balmer formula, an empirical equation to predict the Balmer series, in 1885.

  6. History of spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_spectroscopy

    A hot gas under low pressure emits a "bright-line" or emission-line spectrum. A continuous spectrum source viewed through a cool, low-density gas produces an absorption-line spectrum. In the 1860s the husband-and-wife team of William and Margaret Huggins used spectroscopy to determine that the stars were composed of the same elements as found ...

    Solar spectrum with Fraunhofer lines as it appears visually. In 1802, English chemist William Hyde Wollaston [2] was the first person to note the appearance of a number of dark features in the solar spectrum. [3] In 1814, Joseph von Fraunhofer independently rediscovered the lines and began to systematically study and measure their wavelengths ...
