Provided the electron absorbs light of frequency ##f##, if the electron's initial energy was ##E##, is the energy now ##E + hf##? In other words, does it absorb all of that energy?
Bohr's Hydrogen Model is a scientific model proposed by Danish physicist Niels Bohr in 1913 to explain the structure of the hydrogen atom. It states that electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels, and can move between these levels by absorbing or emitting energy in the form of photons.
In Bohr's model, electrons can absorb energy by moving from a lower energy level to a higher one. This energy is then stored in the electron's orbit, allowing it to stay in the higher energy level until it emits the energy and returns to its original level.
No, the electron does not absorb all energy when it moves to a higher energy level. According to Bohr's model, the electron can only absorb a specific amount of energy to move to a higher energy level, and the energy absorbed corresponds to the difference in energy between the two levels.
No, an electron cannot absorb any amount of energy. It can only absorb a specific amount of energy to move to a higher energy level, as determined by the energy difference between the two levels in Bohr's model.
Bohr's model explains the emission of light from atoms by stating that when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower one, it emits energy in the form of a photon. This energy corresponds to the difference in energy between the two levels, and the wavelength of the emitted photon determines the color of the light.
