Answer:

Flame testing is an analytical technique where a sample is applied to a flame, and the characteristic emission spectrum is used to identify different elements. When this technique is used to identify metal species, it is called metal flame emission testing while Flame emission spectrophotometry is based on the characteristic emission of light by atoms of many metallic elements when given sufficient energy, such as that supplied by a hot flame.
