KnowraFraunhofer linesLinked fromLinked fromThe 19 pages that link to Fraunhofer lines, each with the reason it gives.All 19Broader topic 5Related 11Compared with 3Gustav KirchhoffRelated: Kirchhoff interpreted these previously mapped lines as absorption features caused by elements in the Sun.Kirchhoff's laws of spectroscopyRelated: Kirchhoff explained these solar lines as absorption by cooler gas in the Sun's atmosphere.SpectroscopeRelated: Their precise positions showed that a spectrum contains more than a continuous spread of colors.Anders Jonas ÅngströmRelated: Ångström measured solar lines and compared them with laboratory spectra.Hydrogen-alphaRelated: The early cataloguing of solar lines provided a foundation for identifying spectral features.Norman LockyerRelated: Their established pattern provided the spectral background against which Lockyer recognized a new line.PhotosphereRelated: Many of these lines form in the photosphere and reveal its composition and motion.Abbe numberRelated: The standard Abbe number uses refractive indices at three designated Fraunhofer lines.William HugginsRelated: The comparison of stellar and solar lines connected Huggins’s observations to established spectroscopy.Heinrich KayserRelated: Comparing stellar and solar lines made spectroscopy a tool for studying celestial matter.Johann Wilhelm RitterRelated: Precise study of the spectrum formed the wider experimental setting for Ritter’s work.
