How can you Distinguish absorption spectrum from emission spectrum?

Emission spectra are bright-line spectra, absorption spectra are dark-line spectra. That is: an emission spectrum is a series of bright lines on a dark background. An absorption spectrum is a series of dark lines on a normal spectrum (rainbow) background.

What kind of spectrum do dark lines appear against a bright a bright background of colors ranging from red to blue?

Dark-line spectrum is a "photo-negative" of emission spectrum. It is the gaps that appear in precisely the same location as corresponding bright lines. produced by a cool gas with a hot solid and you


What conditions produce a dark-line spectrum?

An absorption spectrum can tell the astronomer or physicist what elements are in the starlight being observed. A diffraction grating is used to split the incoming light into a spectrum of colors. Sodium, for example, causes dark Fraunhofer lines at known points in the visible spectrum. Helium was discovered in the solar spectrum by Bunsen and Kirchoff using this technique. Hence the name derived from Helios for the Sun.
