Question

Which statement accurately describes this atomic spectrum? There is a horizontal rectangle with the colors of the rainbow from violet to red. There are lines in purple, blue, green and orange. The black lines represent the energy emitted by the electrons. The black lines represent the energy absorbed by the electrons. The colored lines represent the energy emitted by the electrons. The colored lines represent the energy absorbed by the electrons.

Answer 1

Answer:

The black lines represent the energy absorbed by the electrons.

Explanation:

Atoms emit lights when they are excited. These lights are of particular wavelengths that match with different colors. A series of colored lines appear along with spaces in the middle of the two colors. The middle of the colors is filled with dark spaces. Each spectral line of an element represents a specific characteristic of the element. These colored lines appearing in the form of series are termed to be the atomic spectrum of the element. Identification of the elements is done through the line of the spectrum they possess.
