Answer:

mix of red and orange

Step-by-step explanation:

The lithium emission spectrum indicates high intensity at the wavelength of 600nm to 700nm

In the visible light spectrum, colors that are in this range are;

Red=700 - 630 nm

Orange= 630 to 590nm

A sample of lithium gas that has absorbed a lot of energy will show a mix of red and orange colors
