They are related by they are both spectrums that give the color(s) that the element is. The Emission Spectrum shows what color(s) it gives off, and the Absortion shows what color it absorbs and doesn't show. They also fit together and make a continuous spectrum.

Which type of spectrum is associated with the radiation of most stars?

Most stars exhibit a continuous spectrum, which contains all wavelengths of light in a continuous distribution. This is often referred to as a blackbody spectrum due to its smooth curve.


Is an atomic emission spectrum a continuous range of colors?

No, an atomic emission spectrum is not a continuous range of colors. It consists of discrete lines of specific wavelengths corresponding to the emission of light from excited atoms when they return to lower energy levels. Each element has a unique atomic emission spectrum due to its unique arrangement of electrons.


What is the emission spectrum of elements list?

The emission spectrum of elements is a unique pattern of colored lines produced when an element is heated or excited. Each element has its own distinct emission spectrum, which can be used to identify the element.


Which of the three types of spectrum would be observed?

The type of spectrum observed would depend on the source of light. A continuous spectrum is produced by a hot, dense object like a solid, liquid, or dense gas. An emission spectrum is generated by a thin, hot gas, while an absorption spectrum is created by a cooler gas in front of a light source.


What are some comparisons with a absorption spectrum and a continuous spectrum?

An absorption spectrum shows dark lines at specific wavelengths where light has been absorbed by a substance. A continuous spectrum shows all colors/wavelengths with no gaps, like the rainbow. The main difference is that the absorption spectrum has specific dark lines while the continuous spectrum is smooth and uninterrupted.

How does the number of lines in the emission spectrum for an element compare with the number of lines in the absorption spectrum?

The number of lines in the emission spectrum is the same as in the absorption spectrum for a given element. The difference lies in the intensity of these lines; in emission, they represent light being emitted, while in absorption, they represent light being absorbed.


How do emission and absorption spectrums tell us about the composition of objects in our universe?

Each chemical element has a specific emission or absorption spectrum.


Why would the absorption spectrum of each element have lines in the same places as in its emission spectrum?

The absorption spectrum of an element have lines in the same places as in its emission spectrum because each line in the emission spectrum corresponds to a specific transition of electrons between energy levels. When light is absorbed by the element, electrons move from lower energy levels to higher ones, creating the same lines in the absorption spectrum as the emission spectrum. The frequencies of light absorbed and emitted are the same for a specific element, resulting in matching lines.


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 is the difference between an absorption and an emission spectrum?

Absorption spectrum is a gap in the overall spectrum. It happen when light makes an electron jump to a higher orbital and light energy is absorbed. Emission spectrum is light emitted at particular wavelengths (where the absorption spectrum gaps are). It happens when an electron falls from a higher orbital and emits light energy in doing so.


What is the difference between absorption and emission spectrum?

Emission spectrum: lines emitted from an atom.Absorption spectrum: absorbed wavelengths of a molecule.


What is a band spectrum?

A band spectrum is an absorption or emission spectrum consisting of bands of closely-spaced lines, characteristic of polyatomic molecules.


What is band spectrum?

A band spectrum is an absorption or emission spectrum consisting of bands of closely-spaced lines, characteristic of polyatomic molecules.


How can you predicted the absorption spectrum of a solution by looking at it's color?

By looking at its emission spectrum and seing where the black lines are


Image of emission or absorption spectrum of manganese?

This would consist of several series of lines corresponding to the energies of electron transitions. They are bright lines for an emission spectrum and dark for absorbtion.

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.
