★ SPECTRUM:-
→ A series of radiation arranged in the increasing order of their wavelength is called a spectrum.
★ Types of spectrum:-
There are three types of spectrum.
→ Continuous spectrum
→ Absorption spectrum
→ Emission spectrum
• Continuous Spectrum: The spectrum of white light ranging from violet at 7.5 x 10¹⁴ Hz to red at 4 x 10¹⁴ Hz is called continuous spectrum.
• Emission spectrum: The spectrum of radiations emitted by a substance that has absorbed energy is called emission spectrum.
• Absorption spectrum: The spectrum of radiations absorbed by a substance on irradiation with a beam of light called absorption spectrum.
