    So if Hydrogen has only 1 electron, why would there be multiple electron transitions/multiple wavelengths of light produced? Shouldn't there only be one transition occurring producing one wavelength of photon?

    • @tanushgautam553
      @tanushgautam553 7 лет назад +3

      KevNoonz according to me, to excite hydrogen particles current is passed through some quantity of hydrogen gas. in it some particles would get more excited than others - the emission Spectra covers all of the possibilities. again this is only my understanding and I'm just a student

    • @BharathinfinityHegde
      @BharathinfinityHegde 6 лет назад +13

      It's true that there is only one electron in an hydrogen atom, but there can be many different energy states of this electron. What this means is that depending upon the energy being supplied to the electron it gains that amount of energy , becomes excited and jumps to the corresponding energy level. There are hence multiple energy levels (infinite) that the electron can transit to, the infinite one having 0 energy (free electron). After the electron becomes excited and jumps to another energy level, it is unstable hence transits back to it's initial enegry level by releasing the difference energy in the form of EM waves. Hence depending upon the difference between the two energy levels the energy of the emitted wave is different and hence the possible wavelengths are many and different.

  • @ShahzadaShamas-el3ws
    @ShahzadaShamas-el3ws 2 месяца назад

    What happens after an electron falls from higher energy level to the 2nd energy level? It emits photon...then it must fall to the ground energy level and emits UV. BUT is the photon first emitted still visible?? If yes,then for how much time does it remain visible and for how much time is the spectrum visible?

    Excuse me if I'm wrong, but instead of drawing the squiggly arrows representing the colour of light emitted, shouldn't they be dots? (Because light is quantized in packets of energy)

    • @JasonPettett

      Light behaves as photons but also as waves, which is why we talk about them having a wavelength (eg. 656 nanometeres).

    If you change the Balmers constant to B=91.126705 by deviding it by 2² (because 364.50682 is the Balmers series) and use the formula Wavelength = BN²(n²/(n²-N²)) N being the series N=1 lyman N=2 balmers etc. Now you can use the Balmers to calculate all the wavelengths of hydrogen with ease and answers in nm so simple =) your welcome.

    • @nicolelee5965
      @nicolelee5965 4 года назад +2

      When electrons absorb enough energy, they will be excited from their ground state (n=2) to a higher energy level (n = 3). They won't stay in that state though because it's unstable. So the electron will release that energy it absorbed and fall back to it's ground state (n = 2). When it does that, the energy it released was in the form of light, which we see as red light.

      It's my understanding that the electrons absorb energy, but once they absorb a certain amount, they release energy as they fall back to lower levels, and that is when the lines show up.

      @tajshirajbhai4712 4 года назад
