Emission Spectrum
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.
in the visible light range
The spectrum that she will be observing is called an emission spectrum, in which electrons are excited to a higher energy state and then drop back down to the ground state, during which the electrons will emit photons of specific wavelengths, which will be observed as bright lines of color on what appears to be a black background.
The wave lengths of lines of the spectrum are different for each chemical element.
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.

No, its an absorption spectrum
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

its named after the bright indigo line in its spectrum
Because it is bright but not bright enough to be seen in the day.
Lightning is known as a bright flash of electricity produced by a thunderstorm.
