Question

what type of spectra is this image an example of?
absorption spectra
emission spectra
continuous spectra

Explanation:

Absorption spectra are characterized by a continuous rainbow spectrum with dark, narrow lines superimposed; these lines represent wavelengths of light that have been absorbed by a cooler gas between the light source and the observer. The image shows a full continuous color band with dark vertical lines, which matches this definition. Emission spectra show bright lines on a dark background, while continuous spectra have no lines at all.

Answer:

Absorption Spectra
