spectroscopically
Through spectrum analysis
By means of spectroscopy—the analysis of light or other radiation to determine the composition or properties of a substance.
Scientists identify elements spectroscopically by examining the characteristic wavelengths they emit or absorb: The star's atmosphere was analyzed spectroscopically to determine its chemical makeup.
