Absorption Line
A minute range of wavelength (or frequency) in the
electromagnetic spectrum within
which radiant energy is absorbed by the medium
through which it is passing. Each line is associated with a particular
mode of electronic excitation induced in the absorbing atoms by
the incident radiation. See
absorption spectrum,
spectral line,
telluric lines,
Fraunhofer lines,
absorption band.
