Incandescent light bulbs heat up a filament “white hoi,” producing light of all wavelengths that has little to do with the filament’s composition. Gas vapor bulbs, such as sodium and mercury streetlights, produce colors that do depend on the gas in the bulb. Viewed with a diffraction grating (even a simple CD!), whereas the incandescent spectrum is. continuous, that: of a gas vapor (or fluores­cent) bulb has characteristic lines. How is this indirect evidence of the wave nature of orbiting electrons?
