spectroscopy and electromagnetic radiation
Spectroscopy-the study of the interaction between matter and radiated energy. the patterns of the colors shows us what element is present. there are three types of patterns you can see continuous spectrum, absorbent spectrum, and emission spectrum.
Electromagnetic Radiation-is a form of radiant energy released by certain electromagnetic processes. A star produces energy so that the electromagnetic radiation could shine through gases and shine to let us see color
Absorption Spectrum
In a absorption spectrum you see black streaks between the color. it is produced when visible light is passed through a relatively cool gas under low pressure.
Continuous spectrum
In a continuous spectrum you see continuous colors. it is produced by an incandescent solid.
Emission Spectrum
In a Emission spectrum you will see black with skinny lines of colors. is produced by a hot gas under low pressure.
