Solution

The correct option is A True
The spectrum of radiation, emitted by a substance from its excited state is an emission spectrum. The absorption spectrum is recorded by passing continous radiations through a sample that absorb radiation of certain wave length. The wavelength that is missing corresponding to the radiation absorbed by the matter, leaves dark spaces in the bright continuous spectrum.
