PX262 - A3 - line spectra
- in the light emitted from gases, like hydrogen, the spectra are found to not be continuous, but consisting of specific wavelengths
- frequencies for
atoms: - where,
is the rydberg constant,
- where,
- energy emitted from an atom is quantized if emitted by change of electron energy
- electrons must have only specific discrete energies
- atom's energies will follow:
where,
