Spectral Lines
A simple page that concentrates on emission spectra. There is a small selection of images of spectra for student to view.
X-ray Spectrum of Elements on the Periodic Table
Interactive tool for students in atomic science, allowing comparison of different x-ray spectra with standard spectra of elements for identification of sample composition.
Spectra of Gas Discharges
A simple selection of images of emission spectra from various elements. The images are high quality and "important" elements such as H, He and Na are included.
Robert S. Mulliken
Robert S. Mulliken (1896 - ) work dealt extensively with the structure and spectra of molecular complexes and with the structure and spectra of hydrogen, helium, nitrogen and other small molecules.
Line Spectra
Basic page on the theory of how light is made when electrons in specific atomic energy levels move to give photons.
Absorption Spectra
Fraunhofer's observation of spectral lines was a complete accident. Find out more about the absorption spectrum here.
Bohr's Atom
Part of the Physics2000 site explaining the Bhor Atom. These pages also include information on Energy Levels in the atom and atomic spectra.
Red Shift
The light from distant stars and more distant galaxies is not featureless, but has distinct spectral features characteristic of the atoms in the gases around the stars. When these spectra are ...
The natures of the stars
Information on stars with the beginner in mind. Parallel site called spectra gives star characteristics. Lots of information about stars from University of Illinois astronomy department.
Henry Moseley
Moseley, Henry (1887-1915): A British chemist who studied under Rutherford and brilliantly developed the application of X-ray spectra to study atomic structure; his discoveries resulted in a more ...
