Continuous spectrum
Has all wavelengths with no gaps over wide range
Emission spectrum
e- in excited State moves to a lower E level, emits a certain amount of E as photons
Glowing hot gas emit lines of light
Absorption spectrum
e- absorb E from a source to go from lower E to higher E level
Tendency of cool atmospheric gas to absorb same lines of light as absorption lines
