Espectroscopia

The video explains how atoms emit light when heated due to electron excitation. This emitted light is analyzed through flame spectroscopy to identify specific elements present in a sample.

What is the initial step in analyzing light emitted by an object or atom?

• Identifying the elements

• Heating the object

• Splitting the light

• Measuring the temperature

Why do atoms emit light at specific intervals when heated?

• Because of atomic fusion

• As a result of neutron decay

• Because of electron excitation

• Due to the movement of protons

What role do electrons play in the emission of light from heated atoms?

• They absorb light

• They cause the atom to split

• They get excited and emit light

• They remain stable

What is the primary purpose of flame spectroscopy?

• To split atoms

• To identify specific elements

• To measure temperature

• To excite electrons

How does flame spectroscopy help in identifying elements?

• By observing the color of the flame

• By measuring the heat emitted

• By counting the number of atoms

• By analyzing the light emitted
