Question

(1) A hot and opaque solid, liquid, or highly compressed gas emits a continuous spectrum. (2) A hot, transparent gas produces a spectrum of emission lines. Specific lines depend on which elements present in gas. (3) Relatively cool, transparent gas in front of a continuum source produces absorption lines. Specific lines depend on which elements present in gas.

Step 1

An astrophysical example of this is the radiation emitted by a star. Stars are composed of hot, dense gases, and their radiation is observed as a continuous spectrum. The light emitted by the star passes through the outer layers of the star, which are opaque, and Show more…

Describe for every on of Kirchoff's rules an astrophysical example 1) A hot and opaque solid, liquid, or highly compressed gas emits a continuous spectrum. (2) A hot, transparent gas produces a spectrum of emission lines. Specific lines depend on which elements present in gas. (3) Relatively cool, transparent gas in front of a continuum source produces absorption lines. Specific lines depend on which elements present in gas.
