Question
When light emitted by a white hot solid is passed through a sodium flame, the spectrum of the emergent light will show
✓
Answer
When light emitted by a white hot solid passes through sodium vapour then cooler sodium vapour absorb energy from white light spectrum producing spectrum of bright yellow light with two dark lines in the yellow region.
