Question
when light from sun hits a glass prism it generates a continuous spectrum b line spectrum c atomic spectrum d absorption spectrum continue
Sunlight is a continuous range of wavelengths (visible light and beyond). A glass prism disperses sunlight into its constituent wavelengths, creating a continuous spectrum (like a rainbow) with no breaks or discrete lines. A line spectrum has discrete lines (from atoms/molecules emitting specific wavelengths), atomic spectrum is related to atomic emissions/absorptions, and absorption spectrum has dark lines (from light passing through a medium that absorbs specific wavelengths). Sunlight through a prism gives a continuous spectrum.
