The color of light emitted by an atom is most closely related to?
energy released by the electron
Write a sentence using the word emitted?
The bomb emitted radiation.
Can different wavelengths of light interfere with each other?
It depends on what you're asking, the color of something differs from person to person depending on perspective. Because Light refracts, and the same color of light isn't emitted in all directions every time.
What is the verb form of the word emission?
The verb form is to emit (emits, emitting, emitted); an emission is something that is emitted.
What is happening when objects that emit light give off heat?
The most common way light is emitted is by the so called thermal emission, like for example normal lamps or the sun. In this case a certain amount of heat is emitted while emitting light. Naturally the object can also be cooled much sooner for example with a cooler (if it is not the sun naturally :-) ). Since the color (frequency) of the emitted light depends on temperature while the object cools the emitted light changes color from blue to yellow to red to infrared and so on down to microwaves. There are however other means of emitting light exist, by laser effect for example. In this case the effect of cooling is strictly related to the type of laser material and optical pump used and it seems to me out of the scope of this short answer to discuss this point.
Why do you think are there different color emitted?
There different colors emitted
What is the color of potassium hydroxide?
The color of potassium hydroxide is either a white or yellowish color. Potassium hydroxide is a precursor to most soaps and detergents.
The brightest color emitted by the sun?
green
What color do you get when you burn potassium chloride?
A lila color, from potassium spectral lines.
Why can't potassium hydroxide be used to test for carbon dioxide?
it is because potassium hydroxide will react with carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate and water. but potassium carbonate is soluble, so there will be no visible change to see if there is carbon dioxide emitted
Which metal reacts with water and burns with a lilac flame?
Potassium has a violet color in the flame test.
When potassium-39 is bombarded by neutrons chlorine-36 is produced what other particles are emitted?
An Alpha particle
What color is a potassium stick?
Same color as a banana.
What is the color of potassium bicarbonate?
White.
Why do potassium oxide and potassium chloride give off the same colour of light in a flame test?
The color is from the potassium !
What color flame test does Potassium give with a cobalt glass?
The color given off from the potassium through the blue cobalt glass is somewhat if a lavender, lilac color.
What metal burns with a lilac flame?
Potassium has a violet color in the flame test.
