What makes the colors when you throw a copper pipe in the fire. Should you have any chemicals inside?
Answer:
Atoms of copper are flying in your fire. They are being released from the tube and are "excited" by the heat. When these copper atoms release the energy they soaked up from the fire, they release it in characteristic patterns of wavelengths of light that are particular to copper and have nothing to do with the temperature of the fire (which usually is the dominating factor in color of fire). When you add together the different bands of light generated, it appears green.
