Name CH 204 DateExperiment 3: Atomic Spectroscopy Introduction The purpose of the atomic spectroscopy lab experiment was to investigate the relationship between visible light‚ which is the visibly observable range of electromagnetic radiation and the change in energy levels of an element. The line spectrum that was seen in the spectroscope was the evidence of excited atoms emitting electrons and radiating a spectrum of light as it moved from a higher energy state back down to a lower energy level
