Solution

An example of an atomic spectrum is a line spectrum.

Here's why:

  1. An atomic spectrum is a series of lines that represent the frequencies of light that are emitted or absorbed by an atom.

  2. These lines correspond to the energy levels of the electrons in the atom. When an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower one, it emits light of a specific frequency, creating a line in the spectrum.

  3. This is different from a continuous spectrum, which shows all frequencies of light, and a band spectrum, which shows ranges of frequencies corresponding to molecular vibrations or rotations.

  4. Therefore, the line spectrum is the type of spectrum that is specifically associated with atomic transitions.
