New cards
emission
light released, high n → low n, produces bright spectral lines
2
New cards
absorption
light absorbed, low n → high n, produces dark spectral lines
3
New cards
λ
wavelength, distance between maxima of a wave in m
4
New cards
ṽ
wavenumber, reciprocal of the wavelength, usually given in cm-1
5
New cards
fluorescent lamp emission spectra
has distinct lines of blue, teal, green, orange, red. mercury vapor is excited via electric discharge, allowing electron transitions and emission spectra
6
New cards
incandescent lamp emission spectra
continuous spectrum because the tungsten is heated until it glows, not caused from electron transitions but rather blackbody radiation
