What type of spectrum is shown below? Continuous spectrum Black line spectrum Absorption spectrum Emission spectrum What causes an atom to absorb light? Photons take in energy and jump to a higher energy level. Electrons release energy when falling to a lower energy level. Electrons take in energy and jump to a higher energy level. Photons release energy when falling to a lower energy level.
