When photons of light pass through a gas, the photons with the same energy as the energy gaps in the atoms can be absorbed. This causes an absorption spectra, as shown below. Because the energy ...
Studying the line spectra produced by hot gases and absorbed by cooler gases allows us to identify the elements in stars. When a gas is very hot, it doesn’t emit all wavelengths of light.
