We did the flame test lab that involved testing the color of flames, visible wavelengths, of different metals using a Bunsen burner. The flames were very pretty, ranging from pink to green, and we repeated this process with a glass filter.

We were given a mystery substance, unknown c, which, based on color, is most likely CaCl2. Using the colors, we then determined the wavelengths and used the equation E=h(c/wavelength) to get energy which is then multiplied by Avogadro's number to get J per mol.
Here's a demonstration that goes over a similar process as the lab. youtube
This goes into further detail and provides the wavelengths per color. smc
