  1. Question 1

    Q1. A sample of gas has an emission spectrum with multiple spectral lines. Which type of atomic spectra does this represent?

    • A) Line spectra
    • B) Continuum spectra
    • C) Band spectra
    • D) Hydrogen spectra

    Answer: Line spectra

    Explanation: Line spectra are produced by emission from excited atoms, while continuum spectra are continuous and band spectra involve molecular vibrations.
