  1. absorption spectrum

    An absorption spectrum refers to the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, that has been absorbed by matter, typically in the form of gases, solids or liquids. This absorption is usually depicted as a pattern of dark lines or bands on a continuous spectrum, each corresponding to a specific wavelength at which the material absorbs light. The pattern of absorption lines serves as a unique "fingerprint" that can be used to identify the chemical composition and physical conditions of the absorbing matter.
