    Electron transitions from higher to lower energy levels cause emission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, each with their own specific wavelength. Because the energy levels of elements are quantized, each transition has a specific energy difference. The collection of these transitions makes up the emission spectrum and each spectrum is unique to a specific element, allowing identification.
