Entitled: The Spectrum(1) Continuous, (2) Absorption of sodium, (3) Sunlight,(4) Hydrogen, (5) Carbon (or coal-gas), (6) Nitrogen.When a beam of sunlight received through a narrow slit is made to pass through a glass prism, it emerges from the farther side as a broad rectangle strip of rainbow tints - it has been decomposed or separated into its constituent rays. This strip of colours is called the solar spectrum. Light from any other source may be treated in a similar way, and a spectrum will be formed characteristic of the source.The solar spectrum is crossed at right angles by numerous dark lines, called Fraunhofer's lines, indicated by letters assigned to them by Fraunhofer. These dark lines mean a diminished intensity of light in the rays corresponding to them, and are a result of a greater absorption by media situated between the earth and the sun.
