Answer:

The absorption line spectrum shows what we see when we look at a hot light source (such as a star or light bulb) directly behind a cooler cloud of gas. Suppose instead that we are looking at the gas cloud but the light source is off to the side instead of directly behind it. In that case, the spectrum would be an emission spectrum.

Explanation:

Kirchhoff’s laws establish that:

  • A solid, liquid or dense incandescent gas emits a continuous spectrum.  
  • A hot and diffuse gas produces bright spectral lines (emission lines).
  • A gas of lower temperature against a source of continuum spectrum, produces dark spectral lines (absorption lines) superposed in the continuum spectrum.

According with Kirchhoff's laws it is get an emission line spectrum¹ in the scenario at which the observer is looking directly at a gas cloud with the light source off to the side from the line of sight.

In this case the atoms, molecules or ions in the medium are excited by the radiation that comes from the light source. That is known as an electronic transition², an electron in the atom or ion will absorb the photon coming from the light source and pass to a higher energy level, the electron, upon returning to its base state will emit a photon or a series of photons.

Keys terms:

¹Spectrum: Decomposition of light in its characteristic colors (wavelengths).

²Electronic transition: When an electron passes from one energy level to another, either for the emission or absorption of a photon.

Bromination of alkenes ?
Stells [14]
Chemistry - Bromination. Bromination: Any reaction or process in which bromine (and no other elements) are introduced into a molecule. Bromination of an alkene by electrophilic addition of Br2.

How does bromination of alkenes work?
Alkenes react in the cold with pure liquid bromine, or with a solution of bromine in an organic solvent like tetrachloromethane. The double bond breaks, and a bromine atom becomes attached to each carbon. The bromine loses its original red-brown color to give a colorless liquid.

Answer:

Ok, her position changed over time since the road is curved.

The velocity changed since the direction is changing

Describe how you can you use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of an irregular object​
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:Place the graduated cylinder on a flat surface and view the height of the liquid in the cylinder with your eyes directly level with the liquid. The liquid will tend to curve downward. This curve is called the meniscus. Always read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus.
