Spectroheliograph, the Glossary
The spectroheliograph is an instrument used in astronomy which captures a photographic image of the Sun at a single wavelength of light, a monochromatic image.[1]

Astronomy
Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and the phenomena that occur in the cosmos.
See Spectroheliograph and Astronomy
Charles Scribner's Sons
Charles Scribner's Sons, or simply Scribner's or Scribner, is an American publisher based in New York City, known for publishing American authors including Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Kurt Vonnegut, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Stephen King, Robert A. Heinlein, Thomas Wolfe, George Santayana, John Clellon Holmes, Don DeLillo, and Edith Wharton.

Chemical element
A chemical element is a chemical substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical reactions.
See Spectroheliograph and Chemical element
Diffraction
Diffraction is the interference or bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle or through an aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle/aperture.
See Spectroheliograph and Diffraction
Film
A film (British English) also called a movie (American English), motion picture, moving picture, picture, photoplay or (slang) flick is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through the use of moving images.
See Spectroheliograph and Film
Focus (optics)
In geometrical optics, a focus, also called an image point, is a point where light rays originating from a point on the object converge.

George Ellery Hale
George Ellery Hale (June 29, 1868 – February 21, 1938) was an American astrophysicist, best known for his discovery of magnetic fields in sunspots, and as the leader or key figure in the planning or construction of several world-leading telescopes; namely, the 40-inch refracting telescope at Yerkes Observatory, 60-inch Hale reflecting telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory, 100-inch Hooker reflecting telescope at Mount Wilson, and the 200-inch Hale reflecting telescope at Palomar Observatory.

Heliometer
A heliometer (from Greek ἥλιος hḗlios "sun" and measure) is an instrument originally designed for measuring the variation of the Sun's diameter at different seasons of the year, but applied now to the modern form of the instrument which is capable of much wider use.
See Spectroheliograph and Heliometer
Helioscope
A helioscope is an instrument used in observing the Sun and sunspots. Spectroheliograph and helioscope are Astronomical instruments and sun stubs.

Henri-Alexandre Deslandres
Henri Alexandre Deslandres (24 July 1853 – 15 January 1948) was a French astronomer, director of the Meudon and Paris Observatories, who carried out intensive studies on the behaviour of the atmosphere of the Sun.

Hydrogen-alpha
Hydrogen-alpha, typically shortened to H-alpha or Hα, is a deep-red visible spectral line of the hydrogen atom with a wavelength of 656.28 nm in air and 656.46 nm in vacuum.
See Spectroheliograph and Hydrogen-alpha
Light
Light, visible light, or visible radiation is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye.
See Spectroheliograph and Light
Monochromator
A monochromator is an optical device that transmits a mechanically selectable narrow band of wavelengths of light or other radiation chosen from a wider range of wavelengths available at the input.
See Spectroheliograph and Monochromator
Monochrome
A monochrome or monochromatic image, object or palette is composed of one color (or values of one color).
See Spectroheliograph and Monochrome
Photography
Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.
See Spectroheliograph and Photography
Prism (optics)
An optical prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that are designed to refract light.
See Spectroheliograph and Prism (optics)
Robert Raynolds McMath
Robert Raynolds McMath (May 11, 1891 – January 2, 1962) was an American solar astronomer.

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. Spectroheliograph and spectrohelioscope are Astronomical instruments.
See Spectroheliograph and Spectrohelioscope
Sun
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System.
Visible spectrum
The visible spectrum is the band of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye.
See Spectroheliograph and Visible spectrum
Wavelength
In physics and mathematics, wavelength or spatial period of a wave or periodic function is the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.
