Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The difference between a continuous spectrum and an atomic spectrum should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

  • The spectrum which consists of a continuum of wavelengths is said to be a continuous spectrum.
  • During transitions of electrons between energy levels within an atom, the spectrum obtained of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation absorbed or emitted is said to be its atomic spectra. Each element has a characteristic spectrum.
