Ms. Wilson Chem‚ Blk 10 31 October 2012 Atomic Emission Spectra Lab Atomic spectroscopy is the determination of elemental composition by its electromagnetic or mass spectrum. An arrangement of all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation is called the spectrum; the plural being spectra. As light passes through a prism‚ the frequencies of light emitted by an element separate into separate lines to give the atomic emission spectrum of the element. There are two spectrums in the lab: the incandescent
