Spectral band
Spectral bands are regions of a given
More generally, spectral bands may also be means in the spectra of other types of signals, e.g.,
Discussion
In nuclear physics, spectral bands refer to the
The bands may overlap. In general, the energy spectrum can be given by a density function, describing the number of energy levels of the quantum system for a given interval. Spectral bands have constant density, and when the bands overlap, the corresponding densities are added.
Band spectra is the name given to a group of lines that are closely spaced and arranged in a regular sequence that appears to be a band. It is a colored band, separated by dark spaces on the two sides and arranged in a regular sequence. In one band, there are various sharp and wider color lines, that are closer on one side and wider on other. The intensity in each band falls off from definite limits and indistinct on the other side. In complete band spectra, there is a number lines in a band.
This spectra is produced when the emitting substance is in the molecular state. Therefore, they are also called
Spectroscopy studies spectral bands for astronomy and other purposes.
Many systems are characterized by the spectral band to which they respond. For example:
- Musical instruments produce different ranges of notes within the hearing range.
- The electromagnetic spectrum can be divided into many different ranges such as visible light, infrared or ultraviolet radiation, radio waves, X-rays and so on, and each of these ranges can in turn be divided into smaller ranges.
- A radio communications signal must occupy a range of frequencies carrying most of its energy, called its spectrum allocation.
