Flame Spectroscopy

Flame spectroscopy is an analytical technique used to identify and measure elements in a sample by observing the light emitted when a sample is heated in a flame. When the sample is heated, atoms absorb energy and emit light at specific wavelengths unique to each element. By analyzing this light using a spectroscope, scientists can determine the presence and concentration of various elements, making flame spectroscopy valuable in fields like chemistry, environmental testing, and metallurgy. It’s widely used because it’s relatively simple, quick, and requires minimal sample preparation.
