MCQ
Fraunhofer lines of the solar system is an example of
- AEmission spectrum
- BEmission band spectrum
- CContinuous emission spectrum
- ✓Line absorption spectrum
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Line absorption spectrum
Fraunhofer lines are produced by the absorption of rays of the Sun in the atmosphere. When white light from photosphere passes through chromosphere, the vapours and gases present in it absorbs certain wavelengths and produces dark lines (Fraunhofer lines).
