Learn why every element has a unique emission/absorption spectrum, and how we can use spectral lines to identify the composition of an object.

The Balmer Rydberg equation explains the line spectrum of hydrogen. A line spectrum is a series of lines that represent the different energy levels of the an atom. In this video, we'll use the …

How UV-Vis and IR radiation can be used to chemical structure and concentrations of solutions

We got this equation, and in the next video we're going to see how this explains the emissions spectrum of hydrogen. Think about lambda or the wavelength, right as the light is emitted …

How come Hydrogen has multiple lines in its atomic emission spectrum if it only has one electron? Does that mean that that one electron jumped back and forth between grounded and excited …

If light passes through a gas, the gas absorbs specific wavelengths -> absorption lines (like hydrogen or helium). You still see hydrogen/helium lines from the Sun because its light passes …

So, here, I just wanted to show you that the emissions spectrum of hydrogen can be explained using the Balmer Rydberg equation which we derived using the Bohr model of the hydrogen …

Bohr was the first to recognize this by incorporating the idea of quantization into the electronic structure of the hydrogen atom, and he was able to thereby explain the emission spectra of …
