Definition of very ample divisor

By Sarah Scott
$\begingroup$

Sorry for my bad English.

Let $X$ be scheme over $Y$, and $\mathscr{L}$ be invertible sheaf on $X$.

By definition of Hartshorne's algebraic geometry (p120),

$\mathscr{L}$ is very ample relative to $Y$, if there is an immersion $i:X\to \mathbb{P}^r_Y$ for some $r$, such that $i^{*}(\mathscr{O}(1))\cong \mathscr{L}$.

On the other hand, Hartshorne's proof of Iv.Prop.3.1(b) (p307) ,

let $D$ be divisor on curve $X$, $D$ is very ample iff correspond morphism $X\to \mathbb{P}^r_k $ is closed immersion.

Why is tihs? Thanks.
