The line spectrum is usually used to sort out the atomic fingerprint as the gas emit light at very specific frequencies when exposed to the electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic waves are usually displayed in form of the spectral lines.

What are line spectra and why do they exist?

A spectrum that contains only certain colors, or wavelengths, is called a line spectrum. For every element, the emitted light contains only certain wavelentghs, giving each element a unique line spectrum. They exist for atomic fingerprinting, which is useful in identifying elements. They are also used in sodium-vapor lmaps, which are widely used for street lighting. They are also used in "neon" lights.
