Kirchhoff's Laws:
Kirchhoff's Laws are:
- A hot solid, liquid or gas, under high pressure, gives off a continuous spectrum.
- A hot gas under low pressure produces a bright-line or emission line spectrum.
- A dark line or absorption line spectrum is seen when a source of a continuous spectrum is viewed behind a cool gas under pressure.
- The wavelength of the emission or absorption lines depends on what atoms are molecules are found in the object under study.
What atoms or molecules exist depend on:
- temperature
- chemical composition.
- Each atom or molecule exhibits a different pattern of lines (rather like a fingerprint or DNA signature).
