Correct answer: A. Continuous
- A. Continuous
- B. Discrete
- C. Both a and b
- D. None of these
Explanation
The solar spectrum consists of a bright coloured continuous spectrum interspersed with dark lines so the answer is A.

About Atomic Spectra
Atoms emit or absorb light at specific wavelengths because electrons occupy quantized energy levels and change levels by absorbing or releasing photons. The topic covers emission and absorption spectra, spectral series, hydrogen’s line spectrum, energy-level transitions, and the relation between wavelength, frequency and photon energy.
