The spectrum obtained from the chromosphere of the sun at the time of total solar eclipse is

Options

  1. Aline emission spectrum
  2. Bband emission spectrum
  3. Ccontinuous emission spectrum
  4. Dline absorption spectrum

Correct answer

D. line absorption spectrum

Step-by-step solution

Chromosphere is the outer region of the sun just above the photosphere. The photosphere emits continuous spectrum that passes through the chromosphere after some absorption. These absorption lines are observed in solar spectrum. During a total solar eclipse, when the light from photosphere is cut-off, the chromosphere is visible to us. Hence, the line absorption spectrum with continuous background is seen during a total solar eclipse.
