66
Q

How is the wavelength of emitted radiation is produced

A

By measuring the intensity of light emitted at different wavelengths

67
Q

Atomic emission spectra

A
  1. Through a flame, high temperatures are used to excite the electrons from their ground state to a higher energy level. Electrons then drop to lower energy levels and emit photons of light.

The energy of these photons is equal to the difference in energy.

  1. These photons of light can be gathered through a slit and can be passed through a prism
  2. This splits up the wavelength and gives a black background with coloured lines. Each coloured line represents one transition of an electron falling back down to ground state.

69
Q

Why do emission spectrums have multiple different lines

A

70
Q

Atomic absorption spectra

A

Wavelength of absorbed radiation is measured.

produced by measuring how the intensity of absorbed light varies with wavelength.

  1. The sample is first atomised and EM radiation is directed at the sample. Radiation is absorbed as electrons are promoted to higher energy levels by absorption of specific photons.

Energy of the photons is equal to the difference between the levels.

  1. The rest of the light can be passed through a slit, then a prism.
  2. This produces a spectrum with missing lines which represents the electrons being excited to higher energy levels using EM radiation.
