White light is a mix of different frequencies; with certain equipment, it is possible to separate it into its components. This separated version is called a "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.


Why there has a rainbow?

Rainbows happen because of rain droplets acting as a prism and converting the light from the sun, to the whole visible light spectrum. The spectrum is Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo and Violet or ROYGBIV.

What is Difference between prismatic spectrum and grating spectrum?

Grating spectrum is a spectrum produced as a result of diffraction, as by a grating.Whereas prismatic spectrum is a consequence of dispersion of light by a prism. In grating spectrum you also observe different orders of spectral lines which does not happen in prismatic spectrum. Hope this helps VIBHAV ZUTSHI B.Tech '13 IIT Kharagpur
