Best Answer

Diffract the light you see with a diffraction grating (a transparent material with microscopic lines cut into it). Each element has a distinctive pattern of bands of color when viewed through a diffraction grating. Compare what you see with known color patterns, keeping in mind that you could be viewing multiple elements.

Electric Discharge- the process of emitting light because of electricity passing through a gas.


How can you tell if a reaction has occurred if the temperature or colour changes or the gas has given off?

Signs of chemical reactions may be: - Gas release - Formation of a precipitate - Change of color - Change of odor - Change of pH - Change of aspect - Change of viscosity - Change of the temperature - Visible formation of new compounds - Change of the state of the matter - A violent reaction with explosion or fire - Bubbling - Emitting a sound - Emitting a light

The glowing of a neon light is caused by electrons emitting energy as they?

Neon signs work by passing a current of electricity through an evacuated tube filled with a non-reactive gas like neon or xenon. As the electrical current heats the gas to a plasma state the plasma gives off a colored light unique to the gas inside.


How do fluorescent lamps produce light?

LED means light emitting diode. Diode is an electronic component which has two nodes. when power supply is given between two nodes the current flows and emits light from it which is in visible spectrum. Hence light appears from LED lamp. As the energy required for emitting light is very less hence LED lights give very high lumens per watt


What should you do to make sure your car is emitting the least amout of gas?

You didn't mention the year, make or model vehicle you have but, chances are it has a "check engine" light. If the "check engine" light does not illuminate while you're using the vehicle it is running efficiently as it is designed to run.
