According to the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, how is hydrogens bright line spectrum produced?
amazona0125 Bohr proposed that the energy that is emitted and absorbed by an atom must have specific values. The change in energy when an electron moves to higher or lower energy levels is not continuous. It is, rather, quantized. The energy that is associated with the coloured lines in the spectrum corresponds to the change in energy of an electron as it moves to higher or lower energy levels. When the electron of a hydrogen atom that has been excited to the third energy level falls to the second level, it emits light of certain energy. Specifically, an electron that makes a transition from the third energy level to the second energy level emits a photon of red light with a wavelength of 656 nm. Because line spectra result when atoms in an excited state emit photons as they fall to a lower energy level, these spectra are also called emission spectra. What School you go to?
