Why does sodium burn yellow?
When sodium burns, it emits a yellow light due to the specific wavelengths of light that are produced during the process. The excitation of sodium atoms during combustion causes them to release energy in the form of visible light, which happens to be in the yellow part of the spectrum. This emission of light is characteristic of the sodium element.
Why is the solar spectrum an absorption spectrum rather than an emission spectrum?
The sun has 3 layers - the photosphere, the chromosphere, the corona. Photosphere is the visible surface and gives the absorption spectrum. Chromosphere is the pinkish discharge encircling the Sun, visible only during a total eclipse. This gives the emission spectrum. Corona is the halo encircling the chromosphere. THis gives the coronal spectrum.
What colour is produced when sodium is heated?
When sodium is heated, it produces a bright yellow color due to the excitation of electrons in the sodium atoms. This yellow color is characteristic of the emission spectrum of sodium.
If you replace mercury light with sodium vapour lamp in spectrometer experiment what colors do you observe in the spectrum?
If you replace a mercury light with a sodium vapor lamp in a spectrometer experiment, you would observe only a few specific colors in the spectrum. These colors would correspond to the characteristic emission lines of sodium, such as the bright yellow spectral lines at 589.0 nm and 589.6 nm. Sodium vapor lamps emit light predominantly in the yellow region of the spectrum.
Why will all sodium compounds emit the same color flame?
All sodium compounds emit the same color flame, which is yellow, because the color of the flame is determined by the specific electron configuration and energy levels in the sodium atom that are responsible for emitting light at a particular wavelength. Sodium's electronic structure results in emission of light predominantly in the yellow part of the spectrum.

This emission of light is characteristic of the sodium element.
Is sodium lamp monochromatic?
No, sodium lamps are not monochromatic. They emit a broad spectrum of light, with a characteristic yellow-orange color due to the dominant emission of spectral lines in the yellow region.
What spectum is obtained When any element in the gas phase is excited to the point where it emits visible light?
When any element is excited to the point where it emits visible light, it emits a unique spectrum. The mercury in a florescent lamp emits a spectrum in the ultraviolet spectrum. It excites phosphorus powder on the inside of the bulb. The ultraviolet rays strike the phosphorus and it emits white light. Sodium emits yellow light. Potassium emits purple light. Sodium actually emits two different yellows. Each element emits several different colors.The above is not wrong, but it doesn't really answer the question. I believe the answer the poster was looking for is emission spectrum.You may be correct. I have no intention of giving the emission spectrum of every element. I only wished to help the questioner understand what happens when an emission spectrum is produced. I had the idea that the questioner had the idea that every element produced the same emission spectrum. We interpreted the question differently.

Why does sodium bicarbonate burn yellow?
The most important emission wavelength of sodium is in the yellow region.

How does the spectrum from the Na source look?
The spectrum from a sodium source typically shows two yellow emission lines at around 589 and 589.6 nanometers, corresponding to the doublet transition in sodium atoms. These lines are easily identifiable and are commonly used for calibration purposes in spectroscopy.
What color is the sodium emission?
The color of sodium emission is typically a bright yellow-orange.
Why will all sodium compounds emit the same color flame?
All sodium compounds emit the same color flame, which is yellow, because the color of the flame is determined by the specific electron configuration and energy levels in the sodium atom that are responsible for emitting light at a particular wavelength. Sodium's electronic structure results in emission of light predominantly in the yellow part of the spectrum.
What color flame do you get when you burn sodium?
Sodium ions (Na+, from any sorium salt) produce an yellowish orange colored flame with wavelength averaging at a 589.3 nm (actually two dominant spectral lines very close together at 589.0 and 589.6 nm).
What happens if you use a mercury source instead of sodium vapour lamp in diffraction grating experiment?
sodium vapour lamps produce much higher light output (about 90 lumens/watt) they cannot be used in lighting applications where colour-rendering property is very crucial. This is because most of the light emitted from a sodium vapour lamp is concentrated in the yellow part of the visible spectrum (around 580-590 nm) On the other hand, a mercury vapour lamp is quite suitable for lighting applications. This is because, the mercury vapour lamp can feed almost the entire visible region (380-780 nm) of the human visual system.
