Emission of light from an atom occurs when an electron

• drops from a higher to a lower energy level.

•    jumps from a lower to a higher energy level.   

•    moves within its atomic orbital.

• falls into the nucleus.

All stars are composed of a mixture of elements. When these elements are heated they emit specific amounts of electromagnetic radiation, known as an emission spectrum. Each element emits a unique, identifiable, spectrum. Using the Bright-line emission spectrum chart below, identify the elements present in this modeled star (found in the line labeled “mixture”).

• Lithium and cadmium are in the mixture. Strontium is not in the mixture.

• Lithium and strontium are in the mixture. Cadmium is not in the mixture

• Cadmium and strontium are in the mixture. Lithium is not in the mixture

• All of the shown elements are present in the mixture.
