  2. Spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopy

    UVES is a high-resolution spectrograph on the Very Large Telescope. [31] There are several applications of spectroscopy in the fields of medicine, physics, chemistry, and astronomy. Taking advantage of the properties of absorbance and with astronomy emission, spectroscopy can be used to identify certain states of nature. The uses of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrometer

    An XPS spectrometer. A spectrometer (/ s p ɛ k ˈ t r ɒ m ɪ t ər /) is a scientific instrument used to separate and measure spectral components of a physical phenomenon. Spectrometer is a broad term often used to describe instruments that measure a continuous variable of a phenomenon where the spectral components are somehow mixed.

    A lens or telescope is then used to form images of the original slit, with images formed using different wavelengths of light at different positions. If a real image is formed, it can be recorded on film or an image sensor , making the device a spectrograph .

    The force of gravity (red), the buoyancy force (green), and the resultant centripetal force (blue) In the following discussion, represents the acceleration due to gravity, represents the angular speed of the liquid's rotation, in radians per second, is the mass of an infinitesimal parcel of liquid material on the surface of the liquid, is the distance of the parcel from the axis of rotation ...

  6. Polarimeter - Wikipedia

    The optically active solution rotates the plane of polarization of the light emerging out of the polarizer P by some angle, so the light is transmitted by analyzer A and the field of view of the telescope becomes bright. Now the analyzer is rotated by a finite angle so that the field of view of the telescope again becomes dark.

    The 100-inch (2.54 m) Hooker reflecting telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory near Los Angeles, USA, used by Edwin Hubble to measure galaxy redshifts and discover the general expansion of the universe. A telescope is a device used to observe distant objects by their emission, absorption, or reflection of electromagnetic radiation. [1]

  9. History of spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_spectroscopy

    The systematic attribution of spectra to chemical elements began in the 1860s with the work of German physicists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff, [30] who found that Fraunhofer lines correspond to emission spectral lines observed in laboratory light sources. This laid way for spectrochemical analysis in laboratory and astrophysical science.
