Displayed when an element is heated • Happens when electrons are excited and emits energy in form of photon Emission Spectra
Displayed when light is shined behind the an element • Happens when electrons of an element absorb certain frequencies of light Absorption Spectra
Each element has a unique Emission and Absorption Spectra • The bright lines of an element’s Emission spectra corresponds exactly at the same place as the dark lines of absorption spectra. Importance
