Spectrum produced by holding a prism in sunlight Spectrum produced by holding a prism in sunlight. Contains light at every wavelength. Rainbow Continuous Spectrum
Visible light produced by electrons in atom returning to ground state: light of only a few wavelengths is present. Each element has a unique bright line spectrum. Used to identify elements. Wavelengths of bright lines correspond to difference between energy levels. Bright Line Spectrum Source: http://www.dlt.ncssm.edu/TIGER/chem1.htm#atomic
