How does the number of lines in the emission spectrum for an element compare with the number of lines in the absorption spectrum? There are the same number of lines in the emission spectrum as the absorption spectrum. O There are half as many lines in the emission spectrum as the absorption spectrum. O An element either has an emission spectrum or an absorption spectrum, but not both. There are twice as many lines in the emission spectrum as the absorption spectrum.
