Keywords
NANSLO Remote Lab Activity: Emission Spectroscopy uses a spectrometer to record the spectrum of each of the emission lamps for the gases and find the wavelength of five or six most intense peaks for each of the gases, recording the data in a table, and based on that data, complete further analysis work, lab activity.

Abstract
This NANSLO lab activity is self-contained and can be used in in general chemistry and survey of chemistry courses. In this activity, the light of different gasses (atomic and molecular) as detected by a spectrometer are used to make connections between electron states and energy levels. It includes background information on spectroscopy -- the student of the interaction between light and matter and, in particular, how atoms or molecules absorb or emit electromagnetic (EM) radiation, and how EM is characterized by its wavelength or its frequency. Included are equations for energy of a photon of electromagnetic radiation and one for the relationship between wavelength and frequency of electromagnetic radiation. The lab activity also includes pre-lab activities and lab activities.
