Explain why you usually can't use just a single spectrum line to confirm the identity of an element

1 answer:

8 0

You can't usually just use a single spectrum line to confirm the identity of an element because there are cases that the emission line id not clearly defined. When the emission line is very weak compared to surrounding noise, in which case the more datapoints you have to build up confidence for the existence of a particular emission spectra, the better.

Would the water in a pond or the water in a full bathtub have more thermal energy? Explain why.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Thermal energy is defined as the total kinetic energy of all particles in an object. Even though the cup of water has a higher temperature, the bathtub has more thermal energy because it contains much more mass of water compared to the cup.
