Connections to What You Already Know About in Life Allover the world there are neon lights glowing in business windows. Unlike traditional light bulbs, there are no filaments of metal glowing in the bulbs, but each colored bulb is full of a different type of gas. You may see red, green, pink, purple or even different colors. These colors aren’t just made by colored glass but by an electric current that causes the gas to glow distinctive colors. Astronomers can also use the colors of different gases to identify what elements are present in distant stars. Vocabulary Spectra, spectrometer, wavelength, frequency, quantum, Background The emission spectrum of an element is the spectrum of frequencies of light that are emitted by an element when its atoms make a transition from a higher energy state to a lower energy state. The frequencies of the spectral lines correspond to the energy differences between the energy levels of a specific element, As each element has different energy levels, each element's emission spectrum is unique. Procedure Section 1 1. To start this activity, click this link for Atomic Emission Spectra _. The lab will load in a new tab. Click back to this tab to read further instructions and complete the questions below. You can follow along with the instructions below in the Procedures tab in the lab. 2. The Spectrometer is on the right of the lab table. The emission spectra is in the detector window with a graph of the Intensity vs 2 (wavelength). 3. Click Save Screen above the Spectra to save an image of the spectra to the Lab Book. Questions 1, How many distinet lines do you see? 4 ‘What are the colors of the lines you see? red, cyan, blue, indigo hitpsilwocksheets.beyordlabz. com/muitiembeda phpid=54ee-54a6-5446-5447-5448 1soi2ai24, 6:56 AM Boyond Labz 2.0 Assessment 2. If you click to the right of the farthest right peak and drag left you will see a blue box pop up. This will help you zoom the window to fit it to the peak height better. Drag it just higher than the tallest peak. Then hover your cursor over a peak and it will identify the wavelength (in nm) in the x-coordinate field. Record the wavelength in the table below for the peaks in the hydrogen spectrum, (Round to whole numbers.) Each wavelength corresponds to another property of light called its frequency. Use the wavelength value of each of the lines to calculate its frequency given that v= c/A where c = 2.998 x 10!7 nm/s (2.998 x 108 m/s). The energy (E) of a quantum of light an atom emits is related to its frequency (v) by E = hv. Use the frequent value for each line and h = 6.63 x 104 J's to calculate its corresponding energy. Fill in the values in the data table. [H Spectrum (Wavelength (am) irequency (1/5) ergy ) Line #1 (left) 410 73110" 731-10 [4.04101 484-10 Line #2 434 6.91104 691-10 | 4.5er10%1 458-10 Line #3 486.

Do you think the emission spectra for an atom with two electrons instead of one will be significantly different than that of hydrogen? Explain your answer. I think the spectra would be observed to be more as Helium contains more observable and measurable particles compared to Hydrogen gas Procedure Section 2 1, Expand the Samples menu in the Stockroom tab in the tray. Then expand the Gases menu and click on He. This will replace the H in the sample tube with helium gas. If you hover over the gas sample tube with your cursor it should read Gas (He). Click Save Screen to save the new spectra to your Lab Book, Questions 4, How is the visible spectrum for helium different from hydrogen’s spectra? The spectra for Helium produced 7 lines while that of Hydrogen gas produced only 4 suggesting that the spectroneter detected more from Helium compared to Hydrogen gas 5, Determine the wavelength (in nm), the frequency (in I/s) and the energy (in J) for the peak on the far right.
