Sentences with phrase «other spectral lines»

They plan to measure other spectral lines and even test the pull of gravity on antihydrogen — to see if it is pulled down or pushed up.

Not exact matches

Yet so far, star formation historians have mostly relied on other indicators to write their histories: light at a particular frequency that is typically emitted when giant clouds collapse, heating up in the process and radiating away that heat in the form of specific spectral lines.

The challenge for astronomers is to identify that fingerprint among the forest of spectral lines from all the other chemicals in the cloud.

Infrared light, on the other hand, traces dust in a galaxy, and emission lines that are detected in spectral lines trace the gas clouds.

GHGs are special because they have lines within the IR bands that fit into the remaining spectral «windows»; but then why are those windows important, when the non-windows have been closed exactly by absorption by other gases?

Just as these narrow spectral lines do not (generally) overlap those of another species, nor do they OVERLAP EACH OTHER!!

The Wikipedia article you pointed to is about spectral lines, and at other points in the article they note that «spectral lines» applies to both absorption and emission.

On the other hand, once water is present, its IR spectral lines overlap with those of CO2 and make CO2 less potent a greenhouse gas — for the same reason why the temperature dependence on CO2 concentration becomes logarithmic: the previous molecules have already done much of the effect, anyway.

I also understand to about the same extent, how those spectral lines can have a «fine structure» producing several lines instead of one; due to refinements first proposed by Arnold Sommerfeld and others.

Neonflames invites you to draw spectral shapes and lines, modifying colours, intensities, «noise,» fuzz, and other mysterious things.
