How are the continuous bright line spectrum and spectral lines similar?

In a continuous spectrum, you see every color in visible light from wavelengths around 380 nm to 780 nm. The bright light spectrum has only light at specific wavelengths, forming narrow regions of lights. This is characteristic of a particular substance, emitting these lights from its unique electron configuration. Light at specific wavelengths is emitted for different substances, but not a continuous rainbow.

How is the bright light spectra of elements produced?
An emission or absorption line in a spectrum that arises when an electron moves between two energy levels in an atom. A jump to a higher level requires an input of energy, and produces a dark absorption line. A drop to a lower level releases energy, producing a bright emission line.
What does the term bright line spectrum mean?
There are several kinds of spectra. Bright line spectrum, or emission spectrum, is when light emitted by a gas has an electrical discharge going through it, and it produces a spectrum of just a few isolated parallel lines.
Why can the bright-line spectrum of an element be used to identify an element?
The wave lengths of lines of the spectrum are different for each chemical element.
What spectrum is produced by a hot gas under low pressure and appears in a series of bright lines?
Emission Spectrum
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
How does an emission spectrum of a gas in a discharge tube differ from a white light spectrum?
It differs by that white light spectrum is continuous and consists of light of all wavelengths. Emission spectrum is not continuous. It consists of bright lines at specific wavelengths, with complete darkness between them.
What type of spectrum does an incandescent light produce?
There are no bright lines and no dark lines in the spectrum, incandescent light has a continuous spectrum with all visible colors present
The spectrum produced by glowing high-density gas is an a bright line emission b dark line absorption c chemical composition d temperature c continuous?
a Edit: The question is very mixed up, but I think I get the idea. It's obviously an emission spectrum. Because it is a high density gas the spectrum should be CONTINUOUS.
How is the bright light spectra of elements produced?
An emission or absorption line in a spectrum that arises when an electron moves between two energy levels in an atom. A jump to a higher level requires an input of energy, and produces a dark absorption line. A drop to a lower level releases energy, producing a bright emission line.
What does line spectrum tell us?
The bright line emission spectrum tells us the amount of energy between the exited and ground state. When electrons move from an exited state to a ground state, radiant energy of a specific frequency is emitted this creates spectral lines.
Is an absorption spectrum also called a bright line spectrum?
No, its an absorption spectrum
What is a spectral signature?
A spectral pattern is basically a line of dark or bright colors that continue on and never stop. These patterns and lines can be used to identify gases and lights.
What does the term bright line spectrum mean?
There are several kinds of spectra. Bright line spectrum, or emission spectrum, is when light emitted by a gas has an electrical discharge going through it, and it produces a spectrum of just a few isolated parallel lines.
What do the bright lines in a bright light spectrum tell us?
to identify elements
The fingerprint of an atom is seen in its?
bright line spectrum
Why can the bright-line spectrum of an element be used to identify an element?
The wave lengths of lines of the spectrum are different for each chemical element.
