MCQ
Spectrum of sunlight is an example for:
  • A
    Band emission spectrum
  • B
    Line absorption spectrum
  • C
    Continuous emission spectrum
  • D
    Continuous absorption spectrum

Answer

  1. Line absorption spectrum

Explanation:

Dark/ Bright light seen in an otherwise uniform and continous spectrum is a spectral line, this is due to emission or absorption of light in a narrow frequency range, compared with the nearby frequencies.

Spectrum of sunlight is an example for line absorption spectrum.
