NO!!!! Each element gives off a unique spectrum of light.

Does a light bulb give off radiant or thermal energy?
THe light bulb emits light while in the process heat in the infrared spectrum is emitted.
Why a non luminous flame does not give out much light?
A very hot flame may radiate more in the invisible, ultraviolet spectrum than in the visible spectrum.
How is the emission spectrum related to the absorption spectrum?
They are related by they are both spectrums that give the color(s) that the element is. The Emission Spectrum shows what color(s) it gives off, and the Absortion shows what color it absorbs and doesn't show. They also fit together and make a continuous spectrum.
Why elements give line spectrum?
Because the spectra of elements is determined by the energy of transitions of electrons between two allowed quantum states. Since these energy differences can have only certain specified values, the spectrum consists of lines: The spectrum frequency values intermediate between the lines do not correspond to transitions between any two allowed quantum states and therefore do not appear in the spectrum
Where along the em spectrum does gamma rays fall?
The EM spectrum, is based upon the emission of photons at different wavelengths. Visible light is a small part of this spectrum. As all of the spectrum travels at the speed of light - C. The frequencies for different wavelenghts of photons will be different. The creation of these different parts of the spectrum are from different oscillations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum#Rationale) For instance radio waves come from the oscillation of electrons in an antenna. Limitations on these oscillations cause the limitation in the spectrum, at one end there is radiowaves, limited by electron oscillation and the at the other side is gamma from the creation of particle antiparticle pairs.
Why do different elements give off a colorful light when heated?
The color depends on the lines of the emission spectrum of each different element.
What can you now say about the spectra from various light sources?
The light source will give a spectrum that shows what elements are present. Each element will give of a particular colour, almost like a fingerprint.
How is an emission spectrum of an element generated?
All hot solids or dense enough gases emit black body radiation. Gases that are not very dense are are cold absorb particular wavelengths while gases that are not dense but are hot produce their characteristic emission spectrum.
How can you identify the elements in other galaxies?
Each element has a characteristic "fingerprint", that can be noticed in the light that comes from a star, or galaxy. When the light is separated into its component, you see a so-called "spectrum"; specific elements have lines at specific position on such a spectrum. This can give at least a qualitative analysis; a quantitive analysis (the exact amounts) is trickier, but it can at least be estimated.
Why do atoms of an element give off unique atomic spectra?
The precise energy levels of each orbital vary depending on the nuclear charge. Since the spectral lines correspond to transitions between orbitals, each element will have different energies for these transitions, and therefore will have a unique spectrum.
Can you use flame test to identify element?
Yes. Every element has a very particular emission spectrum. Each element has a specific structure of nucleus and electron orbits. Because of this, when a certain element is ionized (ie. by a flame), the electrons rejoining with the nuclei give off a specific frequency of light. The color of light witnessed after burning the compound is an indicator of the elements present.
Does a light bulb give off radiant or thermal energy?
THe light bulb emits light while in the process heat in the infrared spectrum is emitted.
Why a non luminous flame does not give out much light?
A very hot flame may radiate more in the invisible, ultraviolet spectrum than in the visible spectrum.
Why does combining a secondary color with its complementary color give white light?
because the light spectrum is disrupted and the color becomes normal and normality is white
Why does an element give off light of a particular colorwhen flame test is being conducted?
This is because each element has different photons (bundles of light) it gives off during reaction or energy transfer. For example, lithium has primarily red photons, so you see a lithium flame as red.
Give the importance of elements and compounds?
1.they give carbon dioxide and oxygen2.element is pure substance that cannot be broken3.in has light,an element is the simplest kind of matter
Do all heated elements give off light in the visible spectrum?
no it depends on the energy level the electrons are jumping down to
