Why Do Different Elements Contain Similar Amounts Of Light Energy?

216 Words1 Pages
When an electron is heated or energized it changes from ground state to excited state. When it returns to ground state it lets out the last of the energy as a ray of light. Through the ray of light we can determine the frequency and velocity of the atom. Through that the rainbow was thus created. We wanted to test if two atoms are similar in structure would their energy level be similar as well. The purpose is to determine if atoms with different elements contain similar amounts of energy. If group 1 elements are similar, then they will emit a similar source of light energy because the elements are similar when the electrons become excited they will emit the same color due to the similarities that they obtain (Pre-lab). In this lab we
