1.
2. What is a spectroscope and what is it used for?
A spectroscope is a scientific instrument that is used to measure the intensity of the light at different wavelengths by calculating the amount of light energy that is being absorbed by the electrons at different wavelengths.

6. How might the difference in the brightness of spectral lines be explained? In other words, why are some lines in a spectra easier to see and appear brighter?
Some lines in a spectra are easier to see and appear brighter because when there is a brighter spectral line, it means there is a large amount of electrons doing the same transitions in orbital when there are some lines in a spectra that is harder to see, it means there is a small
amount f electrons doing the same transitioning.

8. How is the bright-line emission spectrum associated with the modern view of an atom? The bright-line emission spectrum is associated with the modern view of an atom based on the model of the atom. This describes that there are certain quanta of energy that allows this bright-line emission spectrum to connect as electrons jump through energy levels, creating photons when energy is being lost, which makes this a bright-line spectrum.

10. What is one practical application of passing an electrical charge through a gas?
One practical application of passing an electrical charge through gas would be exit signs. What causes the exit signs to light up is due to the electrons being excited and once they fall back the lights are being emitted.
