Question

in this lab you observed that each element emits a unique color of light when heated in a flame. If these light emissions were examined through a prism, you would observe that the emitted light is actually composed of different wavelengths of light that may lie in the violet region, the green region, or the red region of the visible spectrum. Each element has a unique emission spectrum. Look up the emission spectra for the element tested in this lab. Do research on how scientists apply these emission spectra to investigate the chemical composition pf stars. For example what is the emission spectrum of the sun, and what does this spectrum reveal about the types of elements in the sun

Answer 1

Answer:

The sun's emission spectrum contains most of the visible spectrum, and it also contains UV light and infrared radiation. The colour depends on the atom, like oxygen, which can be found in the sun, is responsible for the colours red and green.

Answer 2

Answer:

The solar emission spectrum show us all the elements that are part of the sun. This spectrum is called Fraunhofer Lines after its discovery by  a German physicist named Joseph von Fraunhofer

Explanation:

When looking  at emission spectrums, keep in mind, the black lines represent the element that is making part of the studied object.

The black lines that appear in the sun emission spectrum, are named "Fraunhofer Lines" and each one is represented by a letter, as we can see in the image below.

Letters A and B , are made by the Oxygen from our atmosphere.

Letter C: Hydrogen α

Letter D: Sodium

Letter E: Iron

Letter F: Hydrogen β

Letter G: Iron

Letter H: Calcium

Letter K: Calcium
