light is frequency as our eyes detect the frequency spectrum of colors white is the brightest that we can see. Of course black is just the absence of light
Is firework explosion a chemical change?
Yes, the gunpowder reacts with oxygen. The oxygen comes from oxidizers perchlorates, chlorates, nitrates, permanganates, chromates or oxides.
In propelling the rocket, potassium nitrate is used with black powder. Chlorates or perchlorates are used for the explosion as it reacts with carbon and sulfur rapidly. For the different colours of firework, various metal salts are used.
Are fireworks one of the dangerous thing in the world?
Yes fireworks can kill you fireworks can also cause burns and scars and death and blindness and loss of hearing alsoThe big danger is that you can start a fire that will get out of control. This can certainly kill people.
Why are transition metals used to make fireworks?
Transition metals are used to make fireworks because they can produce a variety of vibrant colors when heated. Each transition metal ion emits a characteristic color when it releases energy in the form of light. By incorporating different transition metals into the fireworks composition, a wide range of colors can be achieved, creating visually stunning displays. Additionally, transition metals are often used because they are relatively stable and safe to handle in pyrotechnic applications.
Why are you scared of fireworks?
I actuall wrote a paper on this subject for my college English class and I learned that some people don't like them because they disturb their pets and wake them up. They also believe they are extremely dangerous which is not true when they are used properly, which often they aren't. The fireworks that cause the most injuries are bottle rockets and sparklers. The reason there are so many sparkler injuries is because a lot of people let their kids play with them. I guess they don't realize they burn at about 1,800 degrees.
What are the chemicals produced in a firework explosion?
Common fireworks are paper or cardboard tubes containing combinations of gunpowder, flash powder, and propellants. Larger pyrotechnics use metal mortars and other containers, and some displays used compressed air for launching.
There are many chemicals also used to provide various levels of burning or exploding. Some create colored stars, bangs and reports, and crackling. Chemicals used include aluminum, ammonium percholorate calcium carbonate carbon, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium (many compunds) strontium, sulphur, titanium, and more.

How much fireworks are used each year?
Worldwide, millions of fireworks are produced and launched every year.
In storage, they can last indefinitely provided they are kept dry and cool. In use, a firework may last anywhere from a second to a minute.
Where does oxygen come from to burn the firework?
Fireworks use solid oxidizers within the chemical makeup of the charge. The chemical oxidizer fulfills the need for both oxygen and fuel in the fire equation. All that is needed is heat. Or just the surronding air.
Are fireworks legal in Westminster CO?
The answer for 2007 is not a straight "yes" or "no." The City of Westminster has a very good and informative web site, although sometimes it takes some hunting to find what you're looking for. It may be too late for this question's asker for this year - here's the link though:

Why explosion of fireworks called chemical change?
A chemical change is one where new compounds or atoms (products) are being formed from other compounds/atoms (reactants). Fireworks involve combustion, which is a type of chemical reaction because the reactants are being changed into different products.
NOTE: don't mistake this for a nuclear reaction, all chemical reactions have the same number of each element on each side, but many form elements in their pure form (such as Hydrogen) from a reactant like H2O.
