An astronomer looks at the spectrum of light from a distant star. The spectrum they see is shown in the figure. They compare the emission lines within the spectrum to the emission lines in the spectra of pure elements, which are also shown in the figure, in order to identify which elements are present in the outer layers of the star. State all of the elements that are present in the outer layers of the star.

• hydrogen, helium, and carbon

• hydrogen, helium, and boron

• helium, oxygen , and carbon

• hydrogen, helium, boron, and carbon

A scientist has a gas canister that contains a mixture of unknown gases. In order to identify which gases are in the mixture, they look at the spectrum of visible light emitted from it when it is heated. This is shown in the figure. Also shown in the figure are the emission spectra of several pure, gaseous elements. Which of the five elements does the mixture contain?

• helium, oxygen, nitrogen, and argon

• oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen

• hydrogen, helium, and nitrogen

• hydrogen and argon
