MCQ
An incandescent filament emits a spectrum which is:
  • A
    line spectrum
  • B
    band spectrum
  • C
    continuous spectrum
  • D
    characteristic spectrum

Answer

  1. continuous spectrum

Explanation:

An electric bulb, a candle or a red hot iron piece emits light, which has continuously varying wavelengths. 

So it shows continuous emission spectrum.
