pg. 295, Figure 6.13 Compare the two types of emission spectra: continuous spectrum of white light (top) and the line

spectra of the light from excited sodium, hydrogen, calcium, and mercury atoms. Continuous spectrum and emission spectrum of calcium were used to show continuous and discrete spectra of a rainbow.
