Chapter 7, Problem 15RQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An atomic spectrum is to be defined and the way it differs from a continuous spectrum is to be provided.

Concept Introduction:

A series consisting of colored lines and dark spaces in between, which corresponds to the wavelengths of light emitted when an atom is excited, is known as an atomic spectrum.

A continuous spectrum is the series of colored lines throughout the spectrum with no space in between.
