Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What spectrum is one that is a series of bright lines of particular wavelengths produced by a hot gas under low pressure?
A
Absorption
B
Emission
C
Continuous
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A hot, dense object produces a continuous spectrum(blackbody spectrum). A hot, low-density gas produces an emission-line spectrum. A cool, dense gas produces an absorption-line spectrum.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: A spectrum containing only specific wavelengths is called a line spectrum. A line spectrum is a type of spectrum that can be defined as the exhibition of colors formed from light in lines. The visible colors are a series of lines in the line spectrum.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the sodium atom electrons then fall back down to their previous energy level, they emit the difference in energy as light at the D line frequency, creating the bright emission lines.
