NEETChemistryStructure of Atom
How is an emission spectrum typically produced?
Options
- ABy cooling a sample
- BBy irradiating a sample with light
- CBy removing energy from a sample
- DBy heating or irradiating a sample
Correct answer
D. By heating or irradiating a sample
Step-by-step solution
An emission spectrum is typically produced by supplying energy to a sample through heating or irradiation, and then recording the wavelength or frequency of the radiation emitted as the sample gives up the absorbed energy.
