Don't think its right but i put, Flame emission spectroscopy is carried out by measuring the intensity of light in a metal ion

It's almost right.

It's about intensity of particular wavelengths of light *from* metal ions.
You will need to explain why the ions are emitting light, why a particualr wavelength, and what the intensity tells you.
