Light from a fluorescent lamp is observed through a cloud of cool nitrogen gas. Again, two students are having a discussion about the kind of spectra that they would see. Student 1: We would see absorption line spectra and the missing lines would correspond to the light from the fluorescent lamp.
Student 2: I disagree. We would see an emission line spectrum corresponding to nitrogen. This would happen because the nitrogen gas would absorb some energy from the fluorescent lamp and would reemit this energy which would result in an emission line spectrum.
Which student, if any, do you agree with and why?
