Apr 16, 2024 · The spectrum plots you show in your question are claimed to represent stars of different temperatures. Stars do indeed show a continuous spectrum and the reasons for this depend on the …

So, spectrum obtained by sunlight is continuous despite its atomic spectra. In order for sunlight spectrum to be continuous and atomic spectra to be discontinuous, can we assume that sun consists …

Feb 17, 2021 · Incandescent bulbs emit light by heating a filament using electricity, this would lead to a continuous spectrum according to Kirchoff's first law. However, the glass casing around the filament …

Jul 9, 2015 · 3) Atoms instead of continuous spectra had discrete spectra Hydrogen emission spectrum. Instead of a continuous emission spectrum hydrogen gives these distinct lines. All atoms give …

Sep 7, 2018 · When a continuous spectrum is viewed through some cool gas, dark spectral lines (called absorption lines) appear in the continuous spectrum. If the gas is viewed at an angle away from the …

May 17, 2022 · I am currently reading up on quantum mechanics and seem to have confused myself when trying to understand the difference between a discrete spectrum and continuous spectrum. I …

This means the electrons can emit photons with any energy, producing a continious spectrum when a solid is heated. I don't understand what it means by 'overlap of energy levels', and how this could …

The mechanism by which they both produce light is similar: electrons drop from higher orbits and emit photons. I don't understand why in some cases (with gaseous iron) we get separate lines, and with …

Mar 26, 2016 · The x rays thus produced by many electrons make up the continuous spectrum of Figure 2-10 and are very many discrete photons whose wavelengths vary from λmin λ m i n to λ → ∞ λ → …

Dec 14, 2023 · 2 A true blackbody spectrum is continuous. There is some probability that you could detect a photon with any frequency. The continuous Planck curve is a predicted distribution of the …
