What is the role of blue glass in the flame test?

Solution

Blue glass helps in cation recognition.
It is because of the absorption tendency of blue glass.
In some circumstances, a blue glass can absorb all of the flame's light, but in others, it can only absorb a portion of it.
As a result, when looking through blue glass, no color or a different color is seen.
