emission spectroscopy in action
as youve seen, emission spectroscopy is a versatile tool that can be used to understand the world around us. t spectroscopy in action, lets explore an example you are probably familiar with: fireworks.
what creates the color in fireworks? how do you think we can go about finding the answer to this? and how might emission spectroscopy be involved? record your thoughts below.
share your thoughts in a sentence or two...
The color in fireworks is created by metal salts (e.g., strontium for red, copper for blue). We can find the answer by analyzing the light emitted (using emission spectroscopy). Emission spectroscopy involves splitting the light into its component wavelengths (spectrum), and each metal has a unique spectral "fingerprint" that reveals its presence.
