CONTINUOUS SPECTRUM

Specialty Definition: CONTINUOUS SPECTRUM

DomainDefinition

Aerospace

1. A spectrum in which wavelengths, wave numbers, and frequencies are represented by the continuum of real numbers or a portion thereof, rather than by a discrete sequence of numbers. See discrete spectrum. 2. For electromagnetic radiation, a spectrum that exhibits no detailed structure and represents a gradual variation of intensity with wavelength from one end to the other, as the spectrum from an incandescent solid. Also called continuum, continuum radiation.3. For particles, a spectrum that exhibits a continuous variation of the momentum or energy. (references)

Mining

A. The band of all wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum (the rainbow colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet), merging one into the other, produced by all incandescent solids b. The spectrum of a wave, the components of which are continuouslydistributed over a frequency range. (references)
