Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explains concepts in spectrum analysis, a technique used to break down light into its component parts to determine an object's chemical composition. Beginning with some of Isaac Newton's initial experiments in the field, this book traces the history of the field, providing context for the development of the discipline. From Fraunhofer's identification of dark lines in the Sun's spectrum in 1814 to Kirchhoff and Bunsen's development of a rudimentary spectroscope in 1859, this volume places these advances in their historical context. The author explores the contributions of Ãngstrà m, Lockyer, and others who expanded the field. The book includes illustrations and references to relevant figures of scientific importance and explores the impact spectrum analysis has had in understanding the physical properties of stars, the composition of the sun, and the nature of nebulae. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
