Question

what is a light spectra called when you slow it down with a prism (so you can see the lines)? absorption spectra emission spectra continuous spectra

Explanation:

When light is passed through a prism, different wavelengths (colors) of light are refracted (bent) by different amounts. A continuous spectra shows all wavelengths of light without any gaps. Absorption spectra has dark lines where certain wavelengths are absorbed. Emission spectra has bright lines where certain wavelengths are emitted. Since the question is about seeing lines (which could be emission lines if it's from a source emitting specific wavelengths after being "slowed down" - though the description is a bit simplistic. But in the context of basic spectroscopy, emission spectra is made of lines.

Answer:

B. Emission Spectra
