  2. Mass spectrometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_spectrometry

    The use of the term mass spectroscopy is now discouraged due to the possibility of confusion with light spectroscopy. [1] [8] Mass spectrometry is often abbreviated as mass-spec or simply as MS. [1] Modern techniques of mass spectrometry were devised by Arthur Jeffrey Dempster and F.W. Aston in 1918 and 1919 respectively.

  3. Spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopy

    An example of spectroscopy: a prism analyses white light by dispersing it into its component colors. Spectroscopy is the field of study that measures and interprets electromagnetic spectra. [1] [2] In narrower contexts, spectroscopy is the precise study of color as generalized from visible light to all bands of the electromagnetic spectrum.

  4. Spectral color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_color

    A rainbow is a decomposition of white light into all of the spectral colors. Laser beams are monochromatic light, thereby exhibiting spectral colors. A spectral color is a color that is evoked by monochromatic light, i.e. either a spectral line with a single wavelength or frequency of light in the visible spectrum, or a relatively narrow spectral band (e.g. lasers).

  5. Line of purples - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_purples

    In color theory, the line of purples or purple boundary is the locus on the edge of the chromaticity diagram formed between extreme spectral red and violet. Except for these endpoints of the line, colors on the line are non-spectral (no monochromatic light source can generate them).

  6. Stellar classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_classification

    A number following a comma is a scale between 1 and 9 based on the ratio of ZrO and TiO. A number following a slash is a more-recent but less-common scheme designed to represent the ratio of carbon to oxygen on a scale of 1 to 10, where a 0 would be an MS star. Intensities of zirconium and titanium may be indicated explicitly. Also occasionally ...

    “The world and the color purple would never be the same,” Sawaya says. “Even though Perkin’s discovery democratized the color purple, associating it with wealth, royalty and mystery ...

  8. Color of chemicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_chemicals

    Similarly, color is due to the energy absorbed by the compound, when an electron transitions from the HOMO to the LUMO. Lycopene is a classic example of a compound with extensive conjugation (11 conjugated double bonds), giving rise to an intense red color (lycopene is responsible for the color of tomatoes).
