Yes, a continuous spectrum can be produced by a heated ionic compound. When an ionic compound is heated, electrons can be excited to higher energy levels, and as they return to their ground state, they emit light across a wide range of wavelengths, resulting in a continuous spectrum.

What are the characteristics of the tungsten lamp spectra?

The characteristics of tungsten lamp spectra include a continuous spectrum with peaks in the visible and infrared regions, caused by the thermal radiation of the heated tungsten filament.


Is the Hg emission spectrum continuous or discrete?

Hg emission is discrete, that's why you can only see certain (discrete) frequencies, as excited electrons fall from one level to another. A heated light bulb, on the other hand, emits a continuous spectrum from all of its variously vibrating charges.

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.
