The visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum ranges from 430-790 terahertz (THz), or 390-700 nanometers. This includes, from shortest wavelength to longest wavelength, the colors violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.

the only thing we are able to see with the naked eye is VISIBLE LIGHT, and that includes Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. (ROY G. BIV)
Red has a low frequency and Violet has a higher frequency.
hope that helps

Why does hydrogen atom contain many lines?
When the energy is supplied to the atom of hydrogen it will be exited then its single electron will jump from its ground state to some higher energy level. Now,when it de exites from higher level to ground level by several jumps pectral lines of different wavelengths are emitted. That is why the spectrum of hydrogen contains many lines.
How many electrons are in the second energy level of hydrogen?
Depends on the isotope can be 0 or 1 hydrogen is a highly unstable element that the electron Jumps betweent the two energy levels
Energy levels in an atom?
Energy level in an atom refers to the energy due to atoms bound in an electric field. When an electron jumps from higher energy to lower energy it releases a photon, which has a wavelength.

When an atom gains or loses energy what jumps between energy levels?
When an atom gains or loses energy, electrons are the subatomic particles that jump between energy levels. Electrons exist in distinct energy levels or shells around the atomic nucleus. These energy levels are quantized, meaning electrons can only occupy specific orbits. When an atom absorbs energy, typically in the form of light or heat, electrons can move to a higher energy level (excited state). Conversely, when an electron loses energy, it returns to a lower energy level (ground state) by emitting energy, often in the form of light. This process is governed by the principles of quantum mechanics and is described by the Bohr model for simple atoms and the more accurate quantum mechanical model for complex atoms. In the quantum mechanical model, electrons are described by wave functions, and their behavior is probabilistic, reflecting the uncertainty principle.
When an electron jumps from a higher to lower quantum what happens?
Energy excess is released. Lower levels have lower energy
Why you know there are quantum jumps and not continuum in electron levels?
We know that there are discrete levels energy levels because of the light that comes off of an excited atom.

What is the relationship between the light emitted by an atom in the energies of the electrons in the atom?
The more energy levels the electron jumps the more energy the emitted light will have. The more energy you have the shorter wavelength there is.
How many electrons are in the second energy level of hydrogen?
Depends on the isotope can be 0 or 1 hydrogen is a highly unstable element that the electron Jumps betweent the two energy levels
Why do electrons jump when heated?
electrons jump energy levels becouse each level has a specific amount of energy needed inorder to be in that level. when an electron gets enough energy it jumps to the next level it can possible be in with that amount of energy.
Energy levels in an atom?
Energy level in an atom refers to the energy due to atoms bound in an electric field. When an electron jumps from higher energy to lower energy it releases a photon, which has a wavelength.
Why is the emission spectrum different for every element?
When light hits an atom the atom absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects others. Upon gaining energy from light the electrons in the atom are elevated to a higher energy state. Upon returning from this state to the ground state the electrons lose energy in the form of a photon (which may be within the visible spectrum). As different elements have different gaps between each energy level, different elements will have different wavelengths of photon given out and thus different emission spectrums.
Atomic spectra and electron energy levels?
The atomic spectra of an element is basically the lines of color that appear when an electron jumps down or up an energy level. Depending on the shells that an electron jumps is the intensity or the color omitted. The colors that we see (yellow, orange, red, green, blue, purple) mean different level jumps with purple being the highest and yellow being the lowest. The higher the energy level the lower the wavelength omitted and the lower the energy jump the higher the wavelength.
When someone jumps what kind of energy is that?
Muscular energy - which is chemical.
