The atomic line spectrum comes from the emission of atoms of different elements that are in an excited state. Each element has its own unique atomic emission spectrum.

Continuous spectrum with dark lines where light is absorbed?
dark-line spectrum...
What do you call a prism spreading out light into colors?
It is called Visible light Spectrum.
Definition hidden line?
Hidden lines are broken lines that indicate the lines not seen in a certain perspective.
Does an o have a line of symmetry?
It not just has a line of symmetry; a perfect circle has an infinite number of lines of symmetry.
How many central atom of H2O?
The water molecule is one oxygen atom connected to two separate hydrogen atoms. The three are not in a perfect straight line, though there is symmetry through the central oxygen atom.
The fingerprint of an atom is seen in its?
bright line spectrum
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
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 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 does hydrogen have the simplest bright light spectrum?
Because the bright line spectrum is generated by the transition of electrons in the atom among higher and lower energy levels, and no other atom of any other element has less than one electron in it.
What causes spectra lines?
Absorption of energy at atom energy levels cause the line spectrum.
Is an absorption spectrum also called a bright line spectrum?
No, its an absorption spectrum
What were dark lines in the spectrum named for?
Dark lines especially in solar spectrum have been named as Fraunhofer lines. These line are good examples for line absorption spectrum
What does a star's dark-line spectrum reveal?
The dark lines reveal the atoms that are associated with the stars atmosphere. The dark lines are atom energy absorption signatures.
What does a stars dark line spectrum reveal?
The dark lines reveal the atoms that are associated with the stars atmosphere. The dark lines are atom energy absorption signatures.
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.
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.
