• Using convex lens
• Creating larger images
• Distortion
• Reflection

Spectrascopes collect light and then:

• Combine them into white light
• Combine them into black light
• Separate them into bands of colors
• Seperate them into white light

Spectrascopes use bands of color to identify: 

• Mass of star
• The elements in the star
• The weight of the star
• The sounds the star makes

Which is NOT a result of using a spectrascope? 

• Determining elements in star
• Determining mass of star
• Determining temperature of a star
• Determining the age of a star.
