So another week went by, school is coming to a close for this semester. Our class had its second midterm the other week. Cold Sackville is starting to warm up, we finally are getting temperatures in the plus, instead of minus. This means that the over amount of snow that resided outside, is slowly disappearing. This class requires a constellation test to be completed, but several weeks have passed, and there has not been a clear night, that i was scheduled on, it either rained or was to cloudy to take the testing. Our class will try again next week. Hopefully we can get this done, and not have to think about it anymore. As per this blog, i plan on touching on the topic of spectral lines.
Here is a picture of what spectral lines look like and the three types to be discussed.
First we have Continuous spectrum which basically represents all wavelengths that are present within certain limits. Continuous spectrum usually occurs when electrons undergo free bound transitions within hot gas.
Second we have emission lines. This type of spectrum is formed by electromagnetic radiations emitted by different sources.
Third is absorption spectrum. Absorption spectrum is the spectrum that is formed by electromagnetic radiation, which has passed through a medium in which radiation of certain frequencies is absorbed, as seen in the image below.
This is where i sign off. Hopefully, you were able to grasp the definitions of these spectrum and lines. Till next week. Hopefully the snow will be gone by the end of this month.
