Prism, diffraction grating
10 of 23
This type of spectrum is an ___ spectrum because it arises from light emitted by ___ ___?
Emission, excited atoms
11 of 23
Describe the appearance of the emission spectrum?
A series of coloured lines on a black background. The coloured lines correspond to the wavelength of light emitted by the atoms in the sample.
12 of 23
The absorption spectrum arises from...?
Light that has been absorbed by atoms.
13 of 23

Bohr's theory explained why...?
The Hydrogen atom only emits a limited number of specific frequencies.
17 of 23
Bohr's theory made use of the idea of ___ of ___? According to Bohr's theory, the electron in the H atom is allowed to exist only in certain definite...?
Quantisation, energy. Energy levels
18 of 23
What other 3 points came about from Bohr's theory?
1. Photon of light emitted or absorbed when e moves energy level 2.Energy of photon=difference between energy levels(ΔE) 3.Frequency related to ΔE because ΔE=hv.
