Kirchhoff’s Laws • 1. A hot, dense glowing object (a solid or dense gas) emits a continuous spectrum. • 2. A hot, low-density gas emits light of only certain wavelengths—a bright line spectrum. • 3. When light having a continuous spectrum passes through a cool gas, dark lines appear in the continuous spectrum.
