What are line spectra, and how are they used?

• Line spectra are observed when pure samples of individual elements are heated. They can be used to identify elements.

• Line spectra are observed when atoms interact with visible light. They can be used to determine the energy levels of atoms.

• Line spectra are observed when atoms interact with visible light. They can be used to infer important information about atoms.

• Line spectra are observed when pure samples of individual elements are heated. They can be used to determine the wavelengths of light.

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

• It is the range of wavelengths and frequencies that can be detected by the human eye.

• It is a measure of the absorption of radiation as a function of frequency or wavelength.

• It is a spectrum of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the element's atoms when they are returned to a lower energy state.

• It is a range containing all of the possible frequencies and wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
