Continous spectra is the rainbow effect that you see when white light passes through a prism. It includes all of the visible light wavelengths, from about 380 nm to 780 or so.
What else can I help you with?
What type of spectrum does a rainbow have?
A rainbow encompasses a continual spectrum of color.What specifically are you referring to? :\
Where can you commonly find the continuous spectra?
A continuous spectrum is seen in a rainbow.
What is meant by a continuous spectrum?
You can use spectra to estimate the temperature of the star: astronomical thermometer
Is the spectrum of white light from the sun continuous?
Yes, the spectrum of white light from the sun is continuous, containing all colors of the rainbow. This continuous spectrum is due to the sun emitting light across a wide range of wavelengths.
Which type of spectrum is produced when white light from the Sun passes through a prism?
A continuous spectrum is produced when white light from the Sun passes through a prism. This spectrum contains all the colors of the rainbow without any distinct lines or bands.
Why is sunlight's spectra called a continuous spectrum?
Sunlight's spectrum is called a continuous spectrum because it contains all the colors of the rainbow without any gaps or breaks in the distribution. This means that sunlight consists of a continuous range of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
What are some comparisons with a absorption spectrum and a continuous spectrum?
An absorption spectrum shows dark lines at specific wavelengths where light has been absorbed by a substance. A continuous spectrum shows all colors/wavelengths with no gaps, like the rainbow. The main difference is that the absorption spectrum has specific dark lines while the continuous spectrum is smooth and uninterrupted.
Which of these would be a classic continuous spectrum a rainbow the sunlight a neon light fluorescent light or a glowing nebula?
A rainbow would display a classic continuous spectrum because it contains a full range of colors blended seamlessly together, whereas a neon light, fluorescent light, and glowing nebula would exhibit line or emission spectra with distinct lines of color instead of a continuous spread.
What is the name for an unbroken band of colors from light of all visible wavelengths?
A continuous band of colors arranged according to frequency and wavelength is called a spectrum.
Do the rainbow and the spectrum have the same or opposite colors?
A rainbow is a spectrum.
Why does the Suns spectrum contain black lines over an underlying rainbow?
The black lines, known as absorption lines, are created when elements in the Sun's outer layers absorb specific wavelengths of light, leaving gaps in the continuous spectrum. These absorption lines indicate the presence and composition of elements in the Sun's atmosphere. The underlying rainbow spectrum is the continuous emission from the Sun's heated surface.
Which type of spectrum is produced when light from the sun passes through a prism?
It is the spectrum of visible light, which has the colors of the rainbow.
