Does a lightbbulb produce a discrete spectrum? - Answers

A lightbulb primarily produces a continuous spectrum rather than a discrete spectrum. This is because it emits light through thermal radiation, where the filament heats up and emits a broad range of wavelengths. In contrast, a discrete spectrum is characteristic of gases or certain materials that emit light at specific wavelengths due to electronic transitions. Therefore, while a lightbulb emits a continuous spectrum, it does not produce a discrete spectrum.
