Question
Chapter 28, Problem 22A
To determine
To Explain: The function of spectroscope.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A spectroscope is a device that measures the spectrum of light.
- A spectroscope is the way to know what star is composed of. From the light of stars, it disperses the white light into much wider spectrum of various colors than a normal prism.
- It helps in measuring the size of the molecules.
- It helps to measure the solubility of molecules in a particular solvent.
