Spectroscopy

You can find out a lot about certain object by analyzing its light. Breaking down a star’s light into different wavelengths for example, can give you information about its mass, composition and temperature. By doing this, you are actually employing the science of spectroscopy, looking at the interaction of materials and radiated energy.

Spectral Types

The science of spectroscopy paves the way for the classification of stars according to their spectral types, or the result of their specific spectra. You can tell a lot by breaking down a star’s light. In order to understand spectral types, let us go a little into the science of spectroscopy, or breaking down a

Spectroscope

If you ever wondered how you can determine the elements that make something up, you can do that by subjecting your sample to spectral analysis. This involves breaking it down into its spectrum to determine its chemical composition and properties. Spectral analysis is commonly used to find out the composition of unknown materials and utilize

Ionization

To convert an atom or molecule into an ion via the process called ionization, charged particles like an electron or other ion must either be added or removed (though this is not to be confused with the chemical process called dissociation). To produce a positively charged ion, an electron which has bonded to a molecule
