  2. Electromagnetic absorption by water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption...

    The plot for vapor is a transformation of data Synthetic spectrum for gas mixture ' Pure H 2 O ' (296K, 1 atm) retrieved from Hitran on the Web Information System. [6] Liquid water absorption spectrum across a wide wavelength range [missing source] The absorption of electromagnetic radiation by water depends on the state of the water.

  3. Emission spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_spectrum

    Emission spectrum of a ceramic metal halide lamp. A demonstration of the 589 nm D 2 (left) and 590 nm D 1 (right) emission sodium D lines using a wick with salt water in a flame The emission spectrum of a chemical element or chemical compound is the spectrum of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation emitted due to electrons making a ...

  4. Emissivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emissivity

    Emissivity of a body at a given temperature is the ratio of the total emissive power of a body to the total emissive power of a perfectly black body at that temperature. Following Planck's law, the total energy radiated increases with temperature while the peak of the emission spectrum shifts to shorter wavelengths. The energy emitted at ...

  5. Ionized-air glow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionized-air_glow

    Ionized nitrogen radiates primarily as a set of lines in the blue part of the spectrum. [15] A violet hue can occur when the spectrum contains emission lines of atomic hydrogen. This may happen when the air contains high amount of water, e.g. with lightnings in low altitudes passing through rain thunderstorms. Water vapor and small water ...

  6. Absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_spectroscopy

    Emission can occur at any frequency at which absorption can occur, and this allows the absorption lines to be determined from an emission spectrum. The emission spectrum will typically have a quite different intensity pattern from the absorption spectrum, though, so the two are not equivalent. The absorption spectrum can be calculated from the ...

  7. Spectral line shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line_shape

    Emission spectrum of a fluorescent light, exhibiting many spectral lines. Each line corresponds to an energy level in one of the elements inside the light. A spectral line can result from an electron transition in an atom, molecule or ion, which is associated with a specific amount of energy, E. When this energy is measured by means of some ...

  8. Deuterium arc lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium_arc_lamp

    Deuterium is used rather than normal hydrogen because of its greater intensity of UV emission in the molecular band. A deuterium lamp uses a tungsten filament and anode placed on opposite sides of a nickel box structure designed to produce the best output spectrum. Unlike an incandescent bulb, the filament is not the source of light in ...

  9. Homogeneous broadening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneous_broadening

    Homogeneous broadening is a type of emission spectrum broadening in which all atoms radiating from a specific level under consideration radiate with equal opportunity. [1] If an optical emitter (e.g. an atom) shows homogeneous broadening, its spectral linewidth is its natural linewidth, with a Lorentzian profile.
