QUESTION:
How does an absorption spectrum differ in appearance from an emission spectrum?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Emission spectrum : when energy is absorbed by electrons of an atom, electrons move from lower energy levels to higher energy levels, these excited electrons have to radiate energy to return to ground states from the excited state, which is unstable. The emission spectrum is formed by the frequencies of this emitted light.
