A more physical / accurate form of the [[Ideal Blackbody Radiator]] in where elements produce a [[Discrete]] [[Set|set]] of emissions in [[Blackbody Radiation]]. ![[Pasted image 20251124132652.png]] vbThese emissive / absorption lines act as a 'signature' for each [[Periodic Element|element]]. This discrete property arises because inside of an [[Atom]], [[Electron|electrons]] cannot be in a [[Continuous|continuum]] of positions - but can only be in a set of quantized positions.
