Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the continuum spectrum produced by a deuterium lamp instead of a line spectrum for the ultraviolet rays should be determined.

Concept introduction:

A continuum spectrum is a spectrum in which the two spectrums line and band spectrum are superimposed over one another. The continuum spectrum is a combined result of several atomic as well as molecular oscillations.
