 Atomic Absorption and Emission Spectra
Thus, emission spectra are produced by thin gases in which the atoms do not experience many collisions (because of the low density).
An absorption spectrum occurs when light passes through a cold, dilute gas and atoms in the gas absorb at characteristic frequencies; since the re-emitted light is unlikely to be emitted in the same direction as the absorbed photon, this gives rise to dark lines (absence of light) in the spectrum.
Emission or absorption processes in hydrogen give rise to series, which are sequences of lines corresponding to atomic transitions, each ending or beginning with the same atomic state in hydrogen.

The pattern of absorption lines in a spectrum will be unique to a chemical element so we can use absorption lines to detect the presence of specific elements in astronomical objects.
Absorption spectra are found to come from primarily planets, stars, and galaxies.
Notice that the absorption lines appear as dips in the spectrum and emission lines are peaks in the spectrum.

 Theoretical study of the absorption spectra of the lithium dimer
It is found that transitions to quasibound and continuum levels of the B 1u state contribute significantly to the total absorption spectra in the case of X 1+g-B 1u transitions, apparently because there is less vibrational oscillator strength density in the discrete part of the spectrum for the B state compared to the A state.
Total absorption cross sections from X 1+g-A 1+u and X 1+g-B 1u transitions in- cluding bound to bound and bound to free transitions at a temperature of 1000 K. The satellite feature near 900 nm does not appear at this temperature and bound-free absorption (dotted curve) is insignificant.

 Production of carboxylic acids by controlling the active form of iridium catalyst in response to infrared absorption ...
By monitoring the infrared absorption spectra of reacting solutions and following the magnitude of the 2098 cm.sup.-.sup.1 band the operating conditions are adjusted so that this band is present in 50 percent or more concentration relative to the infrared absorption spectral bands of the other iridium species in solution.
This disadvantage has now been found to be overcome by monitoring the infrared absorption spectra of the reaction solution and employing feedback control of the operating conditions so as to have a high proportion of the expensive iridium in the preferred form (i.e., having the major band at 2098 cm.sup..sup.-1).
Infrared absorption spectra of the reaction solution can be carried out on samples removed from the reactor and placed in standard liquid cells at ambient conditions or, preferably, through the use of an in situ high temperature-high pressure spectral cell as described in THE REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS, 43, No. 7, July 1972, pg.

 Action & Absorption Spectra
An absorption spectrum is a spectrum of radiant energy whose intensity at each wavelength is a measure of the amount of energy at that wavelength that has passed through a selectively absorbing substance.
The graph shows the absorption spectrum of a mixture of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b in the range of visible light.
The spectra are not identical, though, because carotenoids, which absorb strongly in the blue, play a role as well.

 Cool Cosmos
Continuous spectra (also called a thermal or flbody spectra) are emitted by any object that radiates heat (has a temperature).
An emission spectra occurs when the atoms and molecules in a hot gas emit extra light at certain wavelengths, causing bright lines to appear in a spectra.
The shape of the continuous spectra (often refered to as the continuum) on a plot is dependent on temperature and motion of the emitting gas.

The interpretation of the vibrational spectra of thin SiO$_2$ films on Si(100) has recently been challenged by the observation of a pronounced thickness-dependent red shift of the asymmetric oxygen stretching mode in Si--O--Si intertetrahedral bridges.
For this purpose, we first introduce a formalism to calculate both the longitudinal and the transverse infrared absorption spectra of thin films on transparent substrates.
The cumulative effect of an interfacial layer with reduced vibrational frequencies and of a stoichiometric oxide with bulk-like modes is shown to consistently explain the thickness-dependent shift observed in experiments.
