Question

Explain hydrogen spectrum wavelength in detail.


Open in App
Solution

Hydrogen spectrum:

  • The hydrogen spectrum is basically an important piece of evidence for showing the quantized electronic structure of an atom.
  • When the Hydrogen atom will absorb a photon, there will be a transition of the electron to a higher energy level n=1n=2.
  • When the Hydrogen atom will emit a photon, then there will be a transition of the electron from the higher level to the lower onen=3n=2.
  • When the transition of the electron from higher to lower levels takes place, the transmission of light or radiation will happen.
  • So, the quantized energy levels of the atoms will cause the spectrum to comprise the wavelengths that will reflect the differences in the form of these energy levels.
