No. Atomic emission spectrum is non-contiuous and it is named as line spectrum.

Which type of spectrum is produced when white light from the Sun passes through a prism?
The colors you see in a rainbow Continuous spectrum :)
Why are only certain colors of light absorbed by and emitted from an atom?
Because the electrons of the atom are in specific energy levels. Therefore the emission of light is dependent upon the energy levels of the atom. F A B I N
When a continuous spectrum of light passes through a red filter the red absorbs the red wavelengths true or fasle?
No, the red absorbs all the colors in the light exceptred.
All of the colors in white light are visable when white light is?
Yes, although the separate colors are perceived to your eye as white. If you have a prism you can separate white light into the continuous color spectrum. This effect is also achieved in rainbows.
What is the difference between a continuous spectrum an a line spectrum?
Dispersion, the separation of visible light into a spectrum, may be accomplished by means of a prism or a diffraction grating. Each different wavelength or frequency of visible light corresponds to a different color, so that the spectrum appears as a band of colors ranging from violet at the short-wavelength (high-frequency) end of the spectrum through indigo, blue, green, yellow, and orange, to red at the long-wavelength (low-frequency) end of the spectrum. In addition to visible light, other types of electromagnetic radiation may be spread into a spectrum according to frequency or wavelength. The spectrum formed from white light contains all colors, or frequencies, and is known as a continuous spectrum. Continuous spectra are produced by all incandescent solids and liquids and by gases under high pressure. A gas under low pressure does not produce a continuous spectrum but instead produces a line spectrum, i.e., one composed of individual lines at specific frequencies characteristic of the gas, rather than a continuous band of all frequencies. If the gas is made incandescent by heat or an electric discharge, the resulting spectrum is a bright-line, or emission, spectrum, consisting of a series of bright lines against a dark background. A dark-line, or absorption, spectrum is the reverse of a bright-line spectrum; it is produced when white light containing all frequencies passes through a gas not hot enough to be incandescent. It consists of a series of dark lines superimposed on a continuous spectrum, each line corresponding to a frequency where a bright line would appear if the gas were incandescent. The Fraunhofer lines appearing in the spectrum of the sun are an example of a dark-line spectrum; they are caused by the absorption of certain frequencies of light by the cooler, outer layers of the solar atmosphere. Line spectra of either type are useful in chemical analysis, since they reveal the presence of particular elements. The instrument used for studying line spectra is the spectroscope.
Explain the difference between the continuous spectrum of white light and the atomic emission spectrum of an element?
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.
What type of spectrum does an incandescent light produce?
There are no bright lines and no dark lines in the spectrum, incandescent light has a continuous spectrum with all visible colors present
What is the atomic emission spectra?
The colors of light given off when an element loses energy
What colors of visible light are found in the emission spectrum of hydrogen?
Red, blue, green, and violet are found in the emission spectrum of hydrogen.
Star radiate different colors and lines based on their composition this is know as its?
It sounds like you're describing an emission spectrum. An emission spectrum will contain bright lines at specific colors, each of which is characteristic of a particular chemical element.
Dispersing light from a hot wire which emits white light gives what type of spectrum is it?
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.
What is a continues spectrum?
A continuous spectrum shows all of the colors produced when white light passes through a prism.
Which type of spectrum is produced when white light from the Sun passes through a prism?
The colors you see in a rainbow Continuous spectrum :)
What is the name of the spectrum when elements produce different colors when heated?
Atomic spectra
What is meant by a continuous spectrum?
You can use spectra to estimate the temperature of the star: astronomical thermometer
How does color form?
Colors are able to form by water droplets that can break sunlight into several colors of the spectrum. Colors can also form by light absorption, emission spectra and reflection.
What is the name of the range of colors emitted by a heated atom?
The name of the range of colors emitted by a heated (energized, excited, etc...) atom is called an emission spectrum.
