a: continuous spectrum light ~
b: faucet spewing out the dirty water
What:
"In the analogy, the source of the continuous spectrum light is like the faucet spewing out the dirty water, the cool thin gas is like the filter, and the bucket is like the camera or telescope. What is not in the analogy is the spectrometer that takes the collected light and spreads it out into its constituent colors. "
