All you can conclude is that something must be burning with an orange flame.

Actually, the "something" that must be burning is the hydrogen that is produced when the sodium reacts with the water:

2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂ + heat

So much heat is produced that the hydrogen catches fire and some of the sodium evaporates into the flame.

The electrons in the sodium atoms get "excited" in the flame. When they drop back to a lower energy level, they emit energy in the form of an orange-yellow light.

What was the half-life of a new isotope?
REY [17]
The half-life of any substance is the amount of time taken for half of the original quantity of the substance present to decay. The half-life of a radioactive substance is characteristic to itself, and it may be millions of years long or it may be just a few seconds.

In order to determine the half-life of a substance, we simply use:
t(1/2) = ln(2) / λ

Where λ is the decay constant for that specific isotope.
