why does the continuous emission spectrum depends only on the temperature of the solution and not on the characteristics of the source?i could not understand this.someone please explain me this:uhh:

It is usually gaps in the spectrum that depend on the material properties.

The Sun shows a continuous spectrum with dark lines in it.smart_worker said:It is usually gaps in the spectrum that depend on the material properties.
how can u say that it usually gaps?it consists of unbroken luminous bands of all wavelengths of colours from violet to red.
Because it is a very complicated material and/or it has a high temperature compared with the condition required to see a material-dependent spectra.also please explain why the spectrum is independent of the characteristics of the source.

Zz.

Technically it's not continuous but you were asking about how the material properties affect the spectra.

Consider the hydrogen and helium atomic spectra - compare with the solar spectra (the Sun is almost all hydrogen and helium).
Anything that emits light has an emission spectrum.smart_worker said:solar spectrum is an absorption spectrum. i am talking about emission spectrum
A continuous emission spectrum is a type of emission spectrum that shows a continuous range of wavelengths of light. This is in contrast to a line spectrum, which only shows specific wavelengths of light. A continuous emission spectrum is produced by a hot, dense gas or solid, and is often used in astronomy to study the composition of stars.
A continuous emission spectrum is caused by the release of energy in the form of light from a hot, dense gas or solid. As the particles in the gas or solid move and collide, they release energy in the form of photons. The specific wavelengths of light emitted depend on the energy levels of the particles and the chemical composition of the gas or solid.
A continuous emission spectrum differs from a line spectrum in that it shows a continuous range of wavelengths of light, while a line spectrum only shows specific wavelengths. A continuous emission spectrum is produced by a hot, dense gas or solid, while a line spectrum is produced by an excited atom or molecule.
A continuous emission spectrum can tell us about the chemical composition of a substance. Each element produces a unique continuous emission spectrum, allowing scientists to identify the elements present in a sample. This information can be used to study the composition of stars, planets, and other celestial bodies.
A continuous emission spectrum is used in astronomy to study the composition of stars and other celestial bodies. By analyzing the wavelengths of light emitted, scientists can determine the elements present in these objects. This information can help us better understand the formation and evolution of the universe.
