@paki

OpenStudy (eiwoh):

I can help you with 1

OpenStudy (brooke..help00):

Ok?

OpenStudy (eiwoh):

It's quite simple: We use a spectrometer to help us determine what stars and planets are made of by passing a light through various chemical elements, different spectral patterns are created. By matching those patterns up to patterns generated in a laboratory environment we can tell what the composition of a distant star or planet is.

OpenStudy (eiwoh):

Now the others...give me a second

OpenStudy (eiwoh):

ooh I learned this last year :)

OpenStudy (eiwoh):

When the spectrometer turns yellow, I think it's Sodium

OpenStudy (eiwoh):

When it turns red blue, and purple, it's Hydrogen @brooke..help00

OpenStudy (eiwoh):
