Why do you only see four lines in the emission spectrum of Hydrogen?
There are an infinite number of transitions, but only 4 of these transitions emit energy in the visible region of the spectrum. That's what our teacher told us。
Bohr used the emission spectrum of hydrogen to support his idea that?
Each energy level corresponds to an exact amount of energy needed by the electron to orbit the nucleus. Transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level correspond to the difference in the energy needed for an electron to occupy those two energy levels. This difference creates the emission spectrum.
Why atom gives the line spectrum and molecule give the band spectrum?
atom give line spectrum because it is sharukh khan and molecule is salman khan that is why it give continiuos spectrum
Image of emission or absorption spectrum of manganese?
This would consist of several series of lines corresponding to the energies of electron transitions. They are bright lines for an emission spectrum and dark for absorbtion.
What did Ryberg note about the atomic spectrum of hydrogen?
Seven

Why elements give line spectrum?
Because the spectra of elements is determined by the energy of transitions of electrons between two allowed quantum states. Since these energy differences can have only certain specified values, the spectrum consists of lines: The spectrum frequency values intermediate between the lines do not correspond to transitions between any two allowed quantum states and therefore do not appear in the spectrum
Why do atoms of an element give off unique atomic spectra?
The precise energy levels of each orbital vary depending on the nuclear charge. Since the spectral lines correspond to transitions between orbitals, each element will have different energies for these transitions, and therefore will have a unique spectrum.
Is the spectrum of an element limited to the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum?
No. The emission and absorption spectrum covers everything from UHF radio to X-rays. (There are no energy level transitions that correspond to the low energy HF or VHF radio bands and below. The lowest-energy transition is the one at 1420 MHz/21 cm.)
How does the color of the flame correspond to the distinct lines in its spectrum?
The color in the flame is the representation of a specific line in the spectrum.
What is the difference between sunlight produced spectrum and hydrogen gas produced spectrum?
The spectrum of sunlight is continuous while for hydrogen is line spectrum (discontinuous)
Why atom gives the line spectrum and molecule give the band spectrum?
atom give line spectrum because it is sharukh khan and molecule is salman khan that is why it give continiuos spectrum
How was helium dicovered?
It was discovered by finding lines in the spectrum of the Sun that corresponded to calculations for the electronic transitions in helium.
Which spectrum of hydrogen consists of the Lyman Balmer and Paschen series?
LBP Spectrum?
The lines at the ultraviolet end of the hydrogen spectrum are known as the lyman series wich electron transitions within an atom are responsible for these lines?
The series of lines in an emission spectrum caused by electrons falling from energy level 2 or higher (n=2 or more) back down to energy level 1 (n=1) is called the Lyman series. These emission lines are in the ultra-violet region of the spectrum.
Image of emission or absorption spectrum of manganese?
This would consist of several series of lines corresponding to the energies of electron transitions. They are bright lines for an emission spectrum and dark for absorbtion.
