A spectroscope creates a spectrum, or array of colors, based on the light emitted by a star. How are

In a spectrograph, black lines can be seen going through the array of colors. The pattern of these lines indicate the composition of the star.

Different elements block different parts of the spectrum, resulting in black lines.

How can you tell which substances are creating the light of the sun or a lightbulb?
Westkost [7]
Through spectroscopy.  Each atom in a gas absorbs and emits light at very specific and unique frequencies.  Heating up a gas causes it to glow at these frequencies. If you put the light from a mercury lamp, for example, through a prism there will not be a rainbow.  There will only be specific bands of light at certain colors.  
On the other hand, white light comes from the sun.  The inner part of the sun creates white light as it isn't just a gas state (this specific choosing of frequencies is a gaseous phenomenon) but the atmosphere of the sun is a gas.  So when the white light passes through it, it absorbs specific frequencies specific to the elements in the gas.  These get scattered (released at random directions) and so many of them don't reach our telescopes.  So in a rainbow from stars (including the sun) have dark bands at specific frequencies.  You need equipment to focus and see the spectrum closely to notice this.  But the missing frequencies are the EXACT frequencies that the gas of the sun's atmosphere would release if heated in a lamp.  
So based on what light is emitted (in gas bulbs) or missing from a spectrum (from stars) we can tell what elements are present there.

A volume of 25 milliliters is the same as a volume of ____________________ cubic centimeters.
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

25 cm³

Explanation:

In the conversion of units, we know that are one cubic centimeters (cm³) in a milliliter (mL) .

1 milliliter = 1 cubic centimeter

25 milliliters = 25 cubic centimeters

Therefore, a volume of 25 milliliters is the same as a volume of 25 cubic centimeters.

This ultimately implies that, the volume of an object in milliliters is equivalent to its volume in cubic centimeters.

A thunderclap sends a sound wave through the air and the ocean below. The
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

C. 14.93 m

Explanation:

The given frequency of the wave, f = 100 Hz

The given equation for the wave speed, <em>v</em>, is presented as follows;

v = f × λ

The speed of sound in water, v = 1,493 m/s

Therefore, we get;

The wavelength, λ = v/f

∴ λ = 1,493 m/s/(100 Hz) = 14.93 m

The wavelength, λ = 14.93 m.

A 120 V electric heater draws a current of 14.1 A. What is the resistance, in ohms?
Sav [38]

Answer:

8.5 ohms

Explanation:

from ohms law

V=IR

120=14.1R

divide both sides by 14.1

120/14.1=14.1R/14.1

R=8.5ohms

dangina [55]

Answer:

Conduction, convection, and radiation

Explanation:

Conduction is the process in which energy is transferred from a hot body to a cooler body. Convection is a process by which heat is transferred as a result of the movement of heated fluid in the form of air or water. Radiation refers to the transmission of energy through a material medium.

Based on the information provided, a lava lamp could be used to provide an example of conduction, convection, and radiation.
