1.	Distinguish between emission spectra & atomic spectra.
Answer» Emission spectra: When an object is strongly heated, it starts to emit light. When the emitted light is subjected to depression, emission spectrum is obtained) Atomic Spectra: When an atom of an element is strongly heated, it starts emitting light energy in different regions. This emitted light when dispersed, a large number of closely spaced lines where formed they are called atomic spectra.
