Kirchhoff’s Three Laws of Spectroscopy: • Light from a hot solid object has a continuous spectrum with no dark lines • The same light, passed through a cool gas has the same spectrum, but with certain wavelengths missing dark lines (absorption spectrum) • Light emitted by a hot gas bright lines superimposed on an otherwise black background emission spectrum UV IR
