Analysis of pigments such as lemon yellow can be done by vaporising a tiny sample of
the pigment and analysing the emission spectrum produced.
A simplified section of the emission spectrum produced by strontium in the visible
region is shown below.

Explain:
You are advised to draft out your answer in rough first and then present your
explanation in a logical order. You may use diagrams in your answer.

The presence of different elements in the stars is inferred from absorption or emission
atomic spectra. The wavelengths involved are in the uv or visible portion of the
electromagnetic spectrum.

The atomic emission spectrum of contaminated goulash shows lines that are not
present in the spectrum of normal goulash. These lines correspond to the
emission spectrum for lead. Part of the emission spectrum for lead is shown
below.

(d)
The full emission spectrum for lead shows more than one set of lines.
In each set, the lines get closer together at high frequencies. Use a diagram,
similar to that in (b), to explain
(i)
why there is more than one set of lines in the full emission spectrum
[2]
(ii)
why the lines in each set get closer together as the frequency increases.
