Explain why the spectrum consists of a series of discrete lines?

e- absorb energy and move to an orbital of higher energy. Falls back down to lower energylevels
releasing the energy. The lines result from the fact that e-'s can only have discrete/quantized energy
levels, they cannot have intermediate energy levels.

∙ 11y ago- When a sample of gaseous atoms of an element at low pressure is subjected to an input of energy, such as from an electric discharge, the atoms are themselves found to emitelectromagnetic radiation.
- On passing through a very thin slit and then through a prism the light (electromagnetic radiation) emitted by the excitedatoms is separated into its component frequencies.

∙ 8y agoBecause the light is being produced by electrons falling back from and excited state to a normal state and in doing so emitting light at discrete energy levels.

A spectrum
What are the absorption lines in the infrared portion of the spectrum of a star that are produced by hyrdrogen are from?
The absorption lines in the infrared portion of the spectrum of a star that are produced by hydrogen are from the Balmer series. The Balmer series were discovered by Johann Balmer in 1885.

no
What is Coarse DEM?
Discrete Element Method = DEM Discrete element method is the way to simulate the movement of granular materials through a series of calculations that trace individual particles constituting the granular material. From: Handbook of Powder Technology, 2001
Which series consists of radioactive nuclides produced by successive radioactive decay until a stable nuclide is reached a. nuclide series b. half-life series c. parent series d. decay series?
Decay Series
Which spectrum of hydrogen consists of the Lyman Balmer and Paschen series?
LBP Spectrum?
What sort of structure does the spectrum of a pulse train have?
A pulse strain has a structure called a frequency comb. This is a spectrum that has a series of discrete and equally spaced elements.
What is s band spectrum?
Band spectrum is the spectrum given by the molecules. It consists of series of closely spaced lines known as bands separated by the dark spaces.
What is a discrete and continuous series?
how is time series applied in the business world today
How do you solve discrete series by grouping?
You will need to use the distributive law to solve discrete series by grouping. The distributive law is a(b + c) = ab + ac. You will be removing the common factors as you go.
What is the difference between fourier series and discrete fourier transform?
Fourier series is the sum of sinusoids representing the given function which has to be analysed whereas discrete fourier transform is a function which we get when summation is done.
What is the name of the visible series in the hydrogen spectrum?
I believe it to be the Balmer Series.
What is discrete and continuous?
Discrete means tangible units (In statistics it is individual units in a data). Continuous is a linear/series in ascending/descending form/order of individual units. (In statistics it is the continuous series of unit data)
What is the name of the third series in the spectrum of hydrogen?
In ascending order of the lower energy state involved in the transition, the first six families of lines in the hydrogen spectrum are: Lyman series Balmer series Paschen series Brackett series Pfund series Humphreys series
What you observe if light from argon gas were passed?
A series of discrete bright lines.
Is weight a discrete variable?
Harish-Chandra's classification of the discrete series representations of a semisimple connected Lie group is given as follows. If L is the weight lattice of the maximal torus T, a sublattice of it where t is the Lie algebra of T, then there is a discrete series representation for every vector v of L + ρ,
What is color spectrum?
a series of light and colors.
