The difference between continuous spectrum and the atomic emission espectrum of an element is that in emission spectrum, only certain specific frequencies of light are emitted while in a continuous spectrum, a continuous range of colors are seen in the visible light.

Explain the production of an emission spectrum in terms of energy states of an electron?
i am actually trying to answer the same exact question in my chem packet right now
How do chemists explain this difference?
These Compounds Have Different Shpaes
Explain the difference between the energy lost or gained by an atom according to the laws of classical physics and according to the quantum model of an atom?
classical physics views energy changes as continuous. In the Quantum concept, energy changes occur in tiny discrete units called quanta
What is happening at the atomic level to give rise to the observed energy?
The atomic level is affected by the movement of electrons so as to give rise to the observed energy. This is what is used to explain the atomic emission spectra.
What is the difference between an aromatic resin and an aliphatic resin?
can anyone please explain me the difference between the aliphatic hydrocarbon resin and aromatic hydrocarbon r Save resin.. its urgent.. regards, kanchan
Would the atomic emission spectrum for each sample change if you repeated the procedure?
no i don't know how to explain it, but thats the answer.
Explain why the fluorescence emission spectrum of a polyaromatic molecule in solution mirrors the shape of the absorption spectrum regardless of the excitation frequency?
Generally fluorescence emission spectrum is independent of the excitation wavelength because of the rapid internal conversion from higher energy initial excited states to the lowest vibrational energy level of the excited state
Explain the effect of the nitrate ion in solution on the color emission?
The nitrate ion is the oxidizing agent in the compound without it you could not burn the chemicals and you could not produce a spectrum so there would be no emission of color

Explain the difference between electronics and electricity?
Electronics is a science dealing with electrons emission electrical is a science dealing with electron flow
How did Bohr explain the line spectrum of hydrogen?
The difference in energy between the energy levels determines color of light emitted when an electron moves from one energy level to another.
If considering two different atoms explain the spectral lines?
Spectral lines are bright or dark lines in an otherwise continuous or uniform spectrum. They are caused by an excess (emission lines) or deficiency (absorption lines) of observed photons within certain frequency ranges. Absorption lines usually come from a background continuum; photons are absorbed when passing through matter to the observer. Absorption occurs when an electron within an atom absorbs a photons energy and is bumped up to an excited state. Emission lines usually come from hot gases; photons are emitted from these gases and reach the observer. Emission occurs when an electron within an atom falls back down to it's ground state and releases energy in the form of a photon.
The absorption spectrum of a hydrogen atom contains dark bands at specific wavelengths The emission spectrum of a hydrogen atom contains bright bands at the same wavelengths Explain what causes ther?
The short answer is these bands represent the (frequency) wavelengths which correspond to orbital configurations for the atom (matter). Absorption is used to identify chemical bonds of elements & compounds by radiating a substance across a range of frequencies & measuring the magnitude of the signal at these frequencies in chemical analysis of a sample. Emission is based upon the same principle except that the substance is heated to the point that it emits radiation (light).
Who used planck's idea of quantization to explain the line spectrum of hydrogen?
Bohr

How can the electromagnetic spectrum be used to explain the human eye's detection of color?
ultraviolet light
What is difference between explain and describe?
Describe is what it is and explain is why it is as it is
