The meaning of absorption and emission spectrum and their relationship.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction
Spectrum is formed on emission or absorption of light energy by electron. It is a characteristic for particular element. Each element has its own spectra.
Absorption spectrum: The spectrum formed as a result of jump of an electron from lower to higher energy level when energy in form of photon is supplied to it. The absorbed wavelength vanishes from spectrum.
Emission spectrum: The spectrum formed as a result of emission of electron from excited energy level to its ground state. The energy is released in form of a photon. It shows emitted wavelength
Relation between them: Since, energy difference between two energy levels is same while going from upper to lower (emission) or from lower to upper (absorption), frequency of photon is same as energy depends on frequency. Hence color of light is same emitted or absorbed is same for two energy levels.
Conclusion
Absorption spectrum is formed when electron jumps from lower to higher energy level and vice-versa for emission spectrum.The frequency of absorbed and emitted light is same for both spectrum.

- ONLY ANSWER 3 AND USE OTHER QUESTIONS FOR CONTEXT Suppose we have two sources of light, a deep red one with wavelength 700 nm, and a violet one with wavelength 400 nm. Both produce the same optical power, delivering 1 milliwatt (10−310−3 watts) of energy per second per square centimeter to a metal target with an area of 1cm2 located 1 meter from the sources. 1. Which color would deliver more photons each second? All the photoelectrons that are produced from the light are presumed to be collected by another electrode and we determine the current in amperes using a circuit and an "ammeter", that is, some device that can give a precise quantitative measure of the current. Such a device might use the magnetic field generated by the current, or the voltage produced when the current flows across a resistance. 2. If the work function of the surface is 2 eV, will we see a current with both colors, one color, or neither one? If so, how much (in amperes), or if not, explain. 3.
