Q. A neon sign does not produce

A) A line spectrum
B) An emission spectrum
C) An absorption spectrum
D) Photons
Explanation

(c) The Spectrum of light emitted by a luminous source is called the emission Spectrum. Neon bulb gives an emission Spectrum. The spectrum of the neon light has several bright lines. The red lines are bright. The emission Spectrum of an element is the exact opposite of its absorption Spectrum, that is, the frequencies emitted by a material when heated are the only frequencies that will be absorbed when it is lighted with a white light. Hence, neon sign does not produce an absorption Spectrum.
