Explanation of Solution

Bunsen and Kirchhoff used spectroscopy and have major contribution in the field of physics and chemistry. The three major contribution made by Bunsen and Kirchhoff to the field of spectroscopy are as follows:

  1. Kirchhoff was the first to explain the black body radiation: Kirchhoff explains that everything in this universe emit radiation
  2. By the use of Spectroscopy Kirchhoff and Bunsen found new elements namely calcium and rubidium
  3. Kirchhoff also study the spectrum produced by sun, he explains the dark line seen in the spectrum of the sun, and he also determines the chemical composition of the sun.

Conclusion:

Major contribution made by Bunsen and Kirchhoff to the field of spectroscopy are as follows:

  • Kirchhoff was the first to explain the black body radiation
  • Kirchhoff and Bunsen found two new elements calcium and rubidium
  • Kirchhoff found the chemical composition of the Sun.

In the pivot assignment, we observed waves moving on a string stretched by hanging weights. We noticed that certain frequencies produced standing waves. One such situation is shown below: 0 ст Direct Measurement ©2015 Peter Bohacek I. 20 0 cm 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Which Harmonic is this? Do NOT include units! What is the wavelength of this wave in cm with only no decimal places? If the speed of this wave is 2500 cm/s, what is the frequency of this harmonic (in Hz, with NO decimal places)?
