MCQ
Line spectra are due to
- AHot solids
- ✓Atoms in gaseous state
- CMolecules in gaseous state
- DLiquid at low temperature
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Atoms in gaseous state
b
Atoms in gaseous state tend to absorb waves of certain wavelength when electromagnetic waves are passed through them. When this light is projected on a photographic film, there are some dark lines caused due to the atoms absorbing waves. This discontinuous spectrum is called line spectrum.
