SUMMARY
This discussion centers on the request for images of absorption and emission spectra for sodium, specifically for use in a physics student book. Two images were provided: one depicting the absorption spectrum, which illustrates the light absorbed by sodium atoms, and the other showing the emission spectrum, representing the light emitted by excited sodium atoms as they return to their ground state. Both spectra are crucial for comprehending sodium's atomic behavior and its interactions with light.
