Briefly, what is a continuous spectrum, an emission spectrum and an absorption spectrum?

continuous, it has output at every frequency over a band.

emission, the output is on a small set of discrete fixed frequencies

absorption, is the same as continuous except that there are a small set of discrete fixed frequencies at which there is not output.
