Aspectroscope creates a spectrum, or array of colors, based on the light emitted by a star. how are
scientists able to use these colors to determine which elements the star contains?

Daughter element the new element produced along with a decay particle in a nuclear transmutation 2. half-life the substance that decays in a nuclear transmutation 3. parent element the change of one chemical element into another by nuclear decay or radioactive bombardment 4. transmutation the time required for the decay of one-half of the atoms in a sample of radioactive material
