How is a spectrum similar to a signature or a fingerprint for a specific element?
Answers
each element exhibit s its own characteristic colour no two elements emits same colour spectra hence the spectrum of elements is similar to finger prints.with this property we can identify different elements
The spectrum of a specific element is similar to a signature or a fingerprint, because -
• The spectrum of different elements are completely different from each other because the arrangement of electron energy levels are unique for every elements present in the modern periodic table.
• That's why,each of the elements have their own specific spectrum which we can use to identify the element.
• This specific spectrums are similar to the fingerprint or signature of us,due to specificity for each individual and can be used for identification also.
