Types of spectra (a) Before passing the solar atmosphere, why does the solar radiation have a continuous spectrum? Solar atmosphere (b) The right figure is a schematic drawing of the Sun. oB If the telescope zooms in on Position B, which kind of spectrum (emission, absorption, or continuous) o A is most likely observed? (c) The solar atmosphere is very faint compared with the solar disk (i.e. the orange circle in the figure) and it is therefore not easy to observe the spectrum of Position B. Suggest an astronomical event that is suitable for the observation of this spectrum.
