Show hintHide hint
Think about the light emitted when a gas is energized.
Question 2.
Name one application of atomic spectra.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how elements emit light.
3Question 3.
What does a line spectrum indicate about an atom?
- A continuous range of wavelengths is emitted.
- Specific discrete wavelengths are emitted.
- No light is emitted.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how elements emit light differently.
4Question 4.
