distinguish between emission spectrum and absorption spectrum

emission spectrum is the frequency of photon released by an excited electron of an atom as it transits to a lower energy level.

absorption spectrum is the frequency of photon absorbed by an electron of an atom from a lower energy level to a high energy level.
