theory of atomic spectra

A spectrum is an assembly of energy levels in the form of radiations emitted by an atom in its excited state. Every atom gives discontinuous line spectra. Each line in the spectra corresponds to a specific wavelength and it is unique to a given element. No tw..

When a substance is heated to a high temperature, the atoms in the vapours get energized. These energized atoms then return to the ground state by emitting electromagnetic radiations of certain definite wavelength. A series of bright lines separated from each other by dark spac..

Emission and Absorption Spectra - One can understand atomic spectra if one knows the concept of atomic energy levels. The movements of electrons from one level to another causes the spectra. The work of a spectoscopicst is to find the energy levels ..

Bohr's Theory of Hydrogen Atom - Niels Bohr suggested that the problem about hydrogen spectrum can be solved if we can make some assumptions. According to classical theory, the frequency of the electromagnetic waves emitted by a revolving electron is equal to the frequ..
