Answer: incandescent light bulbs emit generally continuous thermal spectra. CFLs and LEDs emit the light in the broad bands near specific wavelengths.

Step-by-step explanation:

Incandescent light bulbs emit generally continuous thermal spectra. CFLs and LEDs emit the light in the broad bands near specific wavelengths.

Incandescent light bulbs emit generally continuous thermal spectra. CFLs and LEDs emit the emission line spectra with specific wavelengths.

Incandescent light bulbs emit absorption spectra similar to the spectra of stars. CFLs and LEDs emit the emission line spectra with specific wavelengths.
