Flame Spectroscopy
| Division: | Physical & Mathematical Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Niagara | | City: | Welland, ON | | School: | Alexander Kuska Catholic School | | Abstract: | In this project, metal salts were put into a flame and the colours emitted by the flame were observed through a homemade spectroscope. The spectroscope was calibrated using a mercury lamp allowing the exact wavelengths of resulting flame emissions to be determined. Analysis of these emissions allowed assignment of specific visible wavelengths to a metal enabling analysis of unknown compounds. |
