What is meant by the absorption spectrum of a pigment?
The absorption spectrum of pigment is the molecules response to light. The color of the pigment depends on the wavelengths of light the do not absorb.
A line spectrum is to an element as a person is to a?
to a eye to a eye
How does the number of lines in the emission spectrum for an element compare with the number of lines in the absorption spectrum?
An emission spectrum depend on electrons transition in the atom of a chemical element; and elements are different.Absorption spectrum is based on the different absorption pics of different molecules, depending on the frequency of radiation.Spectral methods are largely used in analytical chemistry.
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.
Does the Sun produce a continuous spectrum or an absorption spectrum?
The photosphere of the sun doesn't really produce a continuous spectrum; there are discontinuities corresponding to energy levels of various chemical elements, called spectral lines. Notably Helium was discovered in the absorption lines of the solar spectrum and only later discovered on Earth.
Is an absorption spectrum also called a bright line spectrum?
No, its an absorption spectrum
What does the absorption spectrum of an atom show?
The absorption spectrum of an atom shows that the atom emits that spectrum which it absorbs.
What meant by an absorption spectrum?
In the absorption spectrum the peaks are due to preferential absorption at a definite wavelength by molecules, ions, etc.
Dark lines in an absorption spectrum are called?
Absorption lines
The fingerprint of an atom is seen in its?
bright line spectrum
Which type of spectrum is associated with the radiation of most stars?
absorption spectrum
Which region of ir spectrum is reffered to as fingerprint region?
1700cm

What is an absorption edge?
An absorption edge is the boundary of a dark bad in an x-ray spectrum.
What is the difference between an absorption and an emission spectrum?
Absorption spectrum is a gap in the overall spectrum. It happen when light makes an electron jump to a higher orbital and light energy is absorbed. Emission spectrum is light emitted at particular wavelengths (where the absorption spectrum gaps are). It happens when an electron falls from a higher orbital and emits light energy in doing so.
