It is a “continuous spectrum that stretches from statistical graphics to data art”.

其范围包括了从统计图表一直延伸到数据艺术各种形式”。

Fluorescent light bulbs appear white but reveal specific emission lines instead of a continuous spectrum.

荧光灯泡看起来是白色的，但显示的是特定的射线，而不是连续的光谱。

Stars are hot, dense balls of gas, so they give off a continuous spectrum; that is, they emit light at all wavelengths.

恒星是热的、稠密的气体球，因此它们散发出的光呈现连续的谱——也就是说，它们会发出各种波长的光。

The result is that the continuous spectrum of a star has gaps in it, darker bands where different elements absorb different colors.

结果是，恒星的连续光谱中有间隙，不同元素会吸收不同颜色，其间就形成一条条的暗带。

But you don't always need special equipment to see and study continuous spectra.

但您并不总是需要特殊设备 来查看和研究连续光谱。

The Sun emits a continuous spectrum, but some elements in its atmosphere absorb some of the light.

太阳发出连续光谱，但 其大气中的一些元素会吸收一些光。

Thus far I've been thinking about signals as infinite continuous waves and when you take their Fourier transform, you get an infinite continuous frequency spectrum.

到目前为止， 我一直将信号视为无限连续波， 当你对其进行傅里叶变换时，你会得到无限连续的频谱。

But when solid materials or high pressure gaseous objects, like the sun, get heated up, they emit a continuous spectrum of light that covers a very wide range of wavelengths.

但是，当固体材料或高压气态物体（如太阳）被加热时，它们会发出连续光谱，涵盖非常宽的波长范围。
