What is an emission line?

  • A
    $A$ line produced when an electron absorbs energy.
  • B
    $A$ line produced when an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
  • C
    $A$ line produced by the continuous spectrum of a black body.
  • D
    $A$ line produced when an electron is removed from an atom.
