A continuous Spectrum
Light (electromagnetic radiation) forms a continuous spectrum there are no two main types.
a continuous spectrum
A unique continuous spectrum
Continuous spectra of light are formed by all forms of white light. This includes light produced by common light bulbs like incandescent and fluorescents.
A hot, glowing wire emits all wavelengths (or colors) of light. This is sometimes called "blackbody radiation." Since all colors are present, you will get a continuous spectrum.
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.
Yes. Candle light is an example of black body radiation.
The spectrum produced by something that's heated, like the sun or an incandescent light, is continuous.

A continuous Spectrum
In a continuous spectrum, you see every color in visible light from wavelengths around 380 nm to 780 nm. The bright light spectrum has only light at specific wavelengths, forming narrow regions of lights. This is characteristic of a particular substance, emitting these lights from its unique electron configuration. Light at specific wavelengths is emitted for different substances, but not a continuous rainbow.
The light is telling you that there is a problem with the air bag system and that it is not functioning. Until the problem is fixed the light will remain on.
