What is hydrogen spectrum?
Answers
Answer:
Spectrum emitted when electron jumps from one orbit to another in Hydrogen atom or species having 1 electron.
Explanation:
Emission of energy as spectrum when a electron jumps from one orbit to another.
Spectrum - When a light or radiation is coming from any source and it is passed through a prism than it splits into different wavelengths. These wavelengths are obtained on a photographic plate. And therefore the arrangement obtained on the photographic plate is known as spectrum.
Hydrogen Spectrum - The arrangement produced by hydrogen atom during absorption or emission is known as Hydrogen spectrum.
Total no. lines in spectrum emission
= (n2 - n1)(n1 - 1 + 1) / 2
where
n2 = higher orbit number
n1 = lower orbit number
And
where
n1 = lowest orbit number of that series.
