Question

Determine weather the following argument is best interpreted as being inductive or deductive:

Each element, such as hydrogen and iron, has a set of gaps-wavelengths that it absorbs rather than radiates. So if those wavelengths are missing from the spectrum, you know that that element is present in the star you are observing.

Answer 1

Inductive reasoning

Explanation:

Inductive reasoning is the logical process in which, there are multiple premises and all believed true and found to be true most of the time and these are combined to find a specific conclusion. Inductive reasoning is used with the application which involves prediction of the behavior, forecasting.it is sometimes confused with mathematical induction but entirely it is a different process. A mathematical process is the example of deductive reasoning in which certainties are always changed and a general conclusion about an infinite number of objects and situations are present there.
