While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- Sodium is a chemical element.
- When the electrons of a chemical element change energy states, certain wavelengths of light are released.
- This unique collection of wavelengths is known as the emission spectrum of the element.
- Sodium's emission spectrum includes the 589.5 nanometer (nm) wavelength of light.
- Wavelengths of 570–590 nm make up the yellow portion of the visible spectrum.
The student wants to indicate one of the wavelengths of light in sodium's emission spectrum. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Sodium's emission spectrum consists of a unique collection of wavelengths.
A
When sodium's electrons change energy states, certain wavelengths of light are released.
B
One of the wavelengths in sodium's emission spectrum is the 589.5 nm wavelength.
C
If a chemical element releases a wavelength of light between 570–590 nm, that wavelength would be part of the yellow portion of the visible spectrum.
D
