Line spectrum and energy levels

AI Thread Summary
The line spectrum reveals that energy levels in an atom are quantized, represented by the formula n² x 13.6 eV, where n is an integer. Each line in the spectrum corresponds to a specific electronic transition between these energy levels. The frequency of the emitted photons provides information about these transitions. Additionally, the intensity of each spectral line indicates the probability of the corresponding transition occurring. Understanding these concepts is crucial for analyzing atomic structure and behavior.

Homework Statement



What does the line spectrum reveal about the energy levels in an atom?


The Attempt at a Solution



The energy levels are quantized

is that right?

Ya! energy levels are--- n2 x 13.6 eV... when n is an integral value..thus they are quantized the frequency of photons do tell us about the electronic transition going inside the atom...i too need the correct answer...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
