Yes, the flame of a gas stove does emit light. The flame of a gas stove is produced by the combustion of gas, typically natural gas or propane. During the combustion process, heat is generated which causes the gas molecules to break apart and recombine with oxygen in the air. This chemical reaction releases energy in the form of heat and light.

The light emitted by a gas stove flame is typically yellow or orange in color. This is because the combustion process does not produce a complete and efficient burn, resulting in the emission of partially burnt carbon particles called soot. The soot particles become incandescent and emit light as they are heated by the flame.

To observe the light emitted by a gas stove flame, simply turn on the stove and ignite the gas. The flame will produce both heat and light, allowing you to cook and providing a source of illumination.
