Best Answer

an oscilloscope give amplitude v/s time display of a wave, whereas the spectrum analyzer gives amplitude v/s frequency display. the oscilloscope gives distribution of energy in wave with respect to time whereas the spectrum analyzer displays frequency components of a wave and their amplitudes.

Explain the difference between the continuous spectrum of white light and the atomic emission spectrum of an element?

The difference between continuous spectrum and the atomic emission espectrum of an element is that in emission spectrum, only certain specific frequencies of light are emitted while in a continuous spectrum, a continuous range of colors are seen in the visible light.


What is an audio spectrum analyzer?

Audio frequency spectrum is measured in Hertz's (Hz) and tells the range of audible audio. The human hearing range is usually 20-20000Hz, but especially the audibility of the top end of the spectrum declines with age. Most software analyzers measure between 0 Hz and 16000-24000kHz
