Flame Emission Spectroscopy is an analytical technique used to identify and quantify elements in a sample. It works by introducing a sample into a flame, where the heat excites the atoms, causing them to emit light at characteristic wavelengths. By measuring this emitted light, scientists can determine the presence and concentration of specific elements. This method is commonly used in various fields, including environmental monitoring and quality control in industries. It is particularly effective for detecting metals such as sodium, potassium, and calcium. The simplicity and speed of the technique make it a valuable tool in laboratories.
