assume that the light emitted by a hot filament or hot metal bar is made to pass through a low density gas, and the emergent light is then analyzed in a spectrometer; what kind of spectrum is seen in this case?

Incandescent bulbs contain a metal filament that gets very hot and glows when current is made to flow through the filament by turning on the light. The spectrum the hot filament produces is called a “continuous” spectrum, because all the wavelengths of light are present (the spectrum has no breaks).
