    Are you doing higher physics in Scotland by any chance?! Thats exactly the same thing i was asked in the homework this week too! Write back! =]

    emission spectrum: The pattern of spectral emission lines produced by an element. Each element has its own unique emission spectrum
    Continous spectrum: A spectrum that contains an entire range of colours and not just separate wavelengths.
