Sunlight's spectrum is called a continuous spectrum because it contains all the colors of the rainbow without any gaps or breaks in the distribution. This means that sunlight consists of a continuous range of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
The spectrum from daylight or fluorescent light is called continuous because it contains a smooth and uninterrupted range of colors across the visible light spectrum. This means that all wavelengths within the visible light range are present without gaps or missing portions, unlike the discrete lines seen in some other types of lighting spectra.
Dispersion, the separation of visible light into a spectrum, may be accomplished by means of a prism or a diffraction grating. Each different wavelength or frequency of visible light corresponds to a different color, so that the spectrum appears as a band of colors ranging from violet at the short-wavelength (high-frequency) end of the spectrum through indigo, blue, green, yellow, and orange, to red at the long-wavelength (low-frequency) end of the spectrum. In addition to visible light, other types of electromagnetic radiation may be spread into a spectrum according to frequency or wavelength. The spectrum formed from white light contains all colors, or frequencies, and is known as a continuous spectrum. Continuous spectra are produced by all incandescent solids and liquids and by gases under high pressure. A gas under low pressure does not produce a continuous spectrum but instead produces a line spectrum, i.e., one composed of individual lines at specific frequencies characteristic of the gas, rather than a continuous band of all frequencies. If the gas is made incandescent by heat or an electric discharge, the resulting spectrum is a bright-line, or emission, spectrum, consisting of a series of bright lines against a dark background. A dark-line, or absorption, spectrum is the reverse of a bright-line spectrum; it is produced when white light containing all frequencies passes through a gas not hot enough to be incandescent. It consists of a series of dark lines superimposed on a continuous spectrum, each line corresponding to a frequency where a bright line would appear if the gas were incandescent. The Fraunhofer lines appearing in the spectrum of the sun are an example of a dark-line spectrum; they are caused by the absorption of certain frequencies of light by the cooler, outer layers of the solar atmosphere. Line spectra of either type are useful in chemical analysis, since they reveal the presence of particular elements. The instrument used for studying line spectra is the spectroscope.
light is white. if you mix the colors of the rainbow you get white. A prism separates the colors, showing a rainbow.
The entire electromagnetic spectrum frequencies, from the lowest to the highest frequencies, are collectively called the electromagnetic spectrum.
The name given to the range of waves with increasing energies is called the Electromagnetic Spectrumi think it is spectrum
A light spectrum that is not continuous is called a discrete or discontinuous spectrum. This means that instead of a smooth progression of colors, there are distinct individual colors or wavelengths present in the spectrum.
It is called Visible light Spectrum.
The spectrum from daylight or fluorescent light is called continuous because it contains a smooth and uninterrupted range of colors across the visible light spectrum. This means that all wavelengths within the visible light range are present without gaps or missing portions, unlike the discrete lines seen in some other types of lighting spectra.
A hot, glowing wire emits all wavelengths (or colors) of light. This is sometimes called "blackbody radiation." Since all colors are present, you will get a continuous spectrum.
A continuous band of colors arranged according to frequency and wavelength is called a spectrum.
Dispersion, the separation of visible light into a spectrum, may be accomplished by means of a prism or a diffraction grating. Each different wavelength or frequency of visible light corresponds to a different color, so that the spectrum appears as a band of colors ranging from violet at the short-wavelength (high-frequency) end of the spectrum through indigo, blue, green, yellow, and orange, to red at the long-wavelength (low-frequency) end of the spectrum.

A continuous spectrum
The spectrum produced when elements emit different colors when heated is called an emission spectrum. Each element has a unique emission spectrum based on the specific wavelengths of light it emits.
violet with shortest wave length is deviated most this type of spectrum ranging from violet and one end red at other and without any discontinuous is called continuous spectrum
The spectrum of a light bulb is continuous, meaning it covers a broad range of wavelengths with no distinct lines. Gas tubes emit light at specific wavelengths called emission lines, producing a line spectrum with discrete colored lines. This difference is due to the way light is generated in each source.
A continuous spectrum is produced when light emitted directly from a hot dense object passes through a prism. This spectrum shows a rainbow of colors with no distinct lines, indicating that all wavelengths of light are present. This type of spectrum is characteristic of a blackbody radiation emission.
The photosphere of the sun doesn't really produce a continuous spectrum; there are discontinuities corresponding to energy levels of various chemical elements, called spectral lines. Notably Helium was discovered in the absorption lines of the solar spectrum and only later discovered on Earth.
