Question
Only heated solids emits a continuous spectrum of all wavelengths, So if the temperature of the object increases it’s emission spectra; that is band of colors will consist of smaller wavelengths of light?So when they say only heated gas emits certain wavelengths of light that are discrete, just means substances that occur in nature as gas not solids? Only heated solids emits a continuous spectrum of all wavelengths, So if the temperature of the object increases it’s emission spectra; that is band of colors will consist of smaller wavelengths of light?

Explanation / Answer
The first statement is true. As the temperature of the solid rises, the emitted photons are of higher energy or smaller wavelengths.
The second argument is wrong. Any element be it a solid at room temperature or liquid or gas, all of them in there gaseous state emit fixed wavelengths because the energy levels for the different elements are different. So when electron jumps from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, a photon is emitted and this photon has a wavelength different from the wavelengths of the photons emitted by other elements.
