The document discusses the solar spectrum as a continuous emission spectrum, characterized by diffused glowing bands. It contrasts this with a discontinuous spectrum, which consists of separate spectral lines, exemplified by the atomic spectrum. The passage of sunlight through a prism demonstrates the seven-colored bands of the solar spectrum.

1. Solar spectrum is
an example of a
continuous
emission spectrum.
A continuous
spectrum is a
pattern of
diffused glowing
bands merged into
each other.
A discontinuous
spectrum consists
of separate and
unmerged
spectral lines.
When sunlight
passes through
the prism shows a
series of seven-
colored diffused
bands called the
solar spectrum.
When the emitted
light radiations of
exciting substances
pass through the
spectrograph, we
get a series of
sharp lines
separated by dark
bands.
The atomic
spectrum is an
example of it.
