An incandescent light bulb is shown in the picture. The filament is the one labelled with number 3. This is a wire made usually of tungsten where the current passes to complete the flow of the electrons from the source to itself as the load. The tungsten material offers a quantity of resistance in ohms. The relationship between the current (I) , resistance (R) and voltage (V) is expressed by the Ohm's Law: V=IR. The voltage across the bulb is directly proportional to the current passing through it with the resistance of the material as its constant of proportionality.

In short, the voltage and current are related through the filament's resistance according to Ohm's Law.

How do spectroscopes help with studying of distance stars?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

You take the light from a star, planet or galaxy and pass it through a spectroscope, which is a bit like a prism letting you split the light into its component colours. "It lets you see the chemicals being absorbed or emitted by the light source. From this you can work out all sorts of things," says Watson
