What are spectral lines?

• Dark or bright lines in a spectrum that correspond to specific wavelengths of light emitted or absorbed by an atom or molecule.

• Lines that indicate the density of a liquid

• Lines that indicate the pressure of a gas

• Lines that indicate the temperature of a star

What is emission spectra?

• The emission spectra is the unique pattern of light emitted by an atom or molecule when it transitions from a higher energy state to a lower energy state.

• The emission spectra is the process of converting light energy into heat energy by an atom or molecule.

• The emission spectra is the unique pattern of light emitted by an atom or molecule when it transitions from a lower energy state to a higher energy state.

• The emission spectra is the absorption of light by an atom or molecule when it transitions from a higher energy state to a lower energy state.

What is the purpose of flame tests in atomic emission?

• The purpose of flame tests in atomic emission is to create a chemical reaction between the sample and the flame.

• The purpose of flame tests in atomic emission is to identify the presence of specific elements in a sample based on the color of the flame produced when the sample is heated.

• The purpose of flame tests in atomic emission is to determine the pH level of the sample based on the color of the flame produced.

• The purpose of flame tests in atomic emission is to measure the temperature of the flame produced when the sample is heated.

How are spectral lines formed?

• Atoms or molecules absorb or emit light at specific wavelengths.

• Spectral lines are formed by the reflection of light off of objects.

• Spectral lines are formed by the refraction of light through a prism.

What is the relationship between spectral lines and energy levels?

• Spectral lines are produced when photons transition between different energy levels in an atom.

• Spectral lines are produced when neutrons transition between different energy levels in an atom.

• Spectral lines are produced when electrons transition between different energy levels in an atom.

Why is atomic emission spectroscopy important in analytical chemistry?

• Atomic emission spectroscopy is not important in analytical chemistry.

• Atomic emission spectroscopy is important in analytical chemistry because it allows for the identification and quantification of elements in a sample.

• Atomic emission spectroscopy is only important for qualitative analysis, not quantitative analysis.

• Atomic emission spectroscopy is only important for organic chemistry, not inorganic chemistry.
