Spectroscopy Activity

Match the type of spectrum or line with the correct description.

 

• Produced by a hot gas or plasma emitting light

• Absorption Spectrum

• Dark lines in a spectrum indicating absorption of specific wavelengths

• Emission Lines

• Bright lines in a spectrum indicating emission of specific wavelengths

• Absorption Lines

• Contains all wavelengths of light without any gaps

• Continuous Spectrum

• Produced when light passes through a cooler gas

• Emission Spectrum

Line emission spectra is produced from atoms when

• electrons release energy as they move to their excited state.

• electrons absorb energy as they move to their excited state.

• electrons release energy as they return to the ground state.

• electrons absorb energy as they return to the ground state.
