In general a blackbody will emit a continuous range of colors, while an excited element will emit only discrete colors. For example in the video, the glowing hot platinum wire will show up as a continuous spectrum, while the burning calcium will show up as discrete green, yellow, and red colors.
Indeed. Are you noticing that sodium line in almost all of the flame tests? Sodium is a wicked efficient emitter, and a common contaminant of other salts.
@@DanielRosenberg ya I was just messin around. Of course Bunsen and Kirchoff noticed the remarkable efficency of Na as an emitter of light some century and a half ago and I guess it's probably the reason every street on the planet was lit with sodium and not calcium or strontium light up until just a few years ago when LEDs took over...
Copper, strontium and potassium are so beautiful.
For yours convenience
Li- crimson red
Na - yellow
K - violet
Rb - red violet
Cs - blue
Fr - radioactive 👎😁.
Hope i will get 👍.
*Li Magenta
Sr Crimson Red
This video is slay and so fun thx for ur efforts guys
Little I know there was such diffraction grade film.
thankyou very much i have a lot of queries regarding flame test but now clearrr thanks
I love this, thank you for showing me I love your videos😁
thanks again Daniel ❤
Amazing mother nature
How do you make the difference between blackbody thermal and elemental spectrum ?

@@NatSciDemos thanks
i love u thx for this video
Can anyone please tell me what is the color of the Magnesium flame? I am finding different answers in different resources?
Its white if u didn't find it yet :)
(I might be wrong but if i remember correctly its white)
@@AshutoshSingh-gs6bz You are right it is white :)
🔥🔥
Sirs, verily I do regret to tell you of this and do not wish to alarm, but I think your Ba is contaminated with Na!

WHY NOT TRY GOLD AND SILVER!! UGH
Yes
How, it's very interessant
👍👍👍💖👍👍👍
Hola
Why are you wearing a mask?
Thought you guys were smart 🙄
they are smart, they don't want to be accused of being pseudo-scientific nor they want to lose funding :P
@@victorcotu my bet is funding
Perhaps to make sure they don’t get sick from the burning of the metals?
