continuous spectrum. n. (General Physics) a spectrum that contains or appears to contain all wavelengths but not spectrum lines over a wide portion of its range. The emission spectrum of incandescent solids is continuous; bremsstrahlung spectra consisting of a large number of lines may appear continuous.
The three types of spectra are shown in the diagram below: continuous, emission line and absorption line. A continuous spectrum includes all wavelengths of light; i.e., it shows all the colors of the rainbow (case âaâ in the diagram below). It is produced by a dense object that is hot, either a dense gas (such as the
