WHAT DOES SPECTROHELIOSCOPE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

spectrohelioscope

Spectrohelioscope

A spectrohelioscope is a type of solar telescope designed by George Ellery Hale in 1924 to allow the Sun to be viewed in a selected wavelength of light. The name comes from three Latin-based words: Spectro, referring to the optical spectrum, Helio, referring to the Sun and Scope, as in telescope. Schematic of typical spectrohelioscope. The two slits oscillate rapidly to allow a portion of the sun to be seen in monochromatic light. Many variations are possible: collimation can be done with concave mirrors, dispersion can be achieved with glass prisms, and scanning can be achieved with fixed slits and spinning square prisms. Because they are large and delicate, spectrohelioscopes are usually fixed, with moving mirrors to track the sun The basic spectrohelioscope is a complex machine that uses a spectroscope to scan the surface of the sun. The image from the objective lens is focused on a narrow slit revealing only a thin portion of the suns surface. The light is then passed through a prism or diffraction grating to spread the light into a spectrum. The spectrum is then focused on another slit that allows only a narrow part of the spectrum to pass.

Definition of spectrohelioscope in the English dictionary

The definition of spectrohelioscope in the dictionary is an instrument, similar to the spectroheliograph, used for observing solar radiation at one particular wavelength.
