Spectroscopy is the analysis of light spectra and the way in which light interacts with matter. When light is analyzed it is commonly separated into its component colors. The light source is directed on a slit and the "beam" of light is separated using a prism or grating.
The reason that the images are lines is that the light from the lamp is focused on a narrow slit. The illustration shows the separation of a light beam into its component colors.

Happy Birthday Madame Curie!

Marie Curie was a Polish physicist and chemist who lived between 1867-1934. Together with her husband, Pierre, she discovered two new elements and studied the x-rays they emitted.

Three new elements are named!

The General Assembly of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP)approved the names of three elements on Friday. Elements 110, 111 and 112 are officially named darmstadtium (Ds), roentgenium (Rg) and copernicium (Cn). Of course, these names have been unofficially listed on the periodic table since they were first proposed to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
