Interpretation: This is to be proved that the energy levels of hydrogen atom are not continuous but quantized.
Concept introduction: According to
Answer to Problem 65A
The energy levels of hydrogen atoms are quantized.
Explanation of Solution
By observing the line spectrum of hydrogen,one can prove this fact.
When electricity is passed through a gas, light is emitted. When this light is passed through a prism only certain lines of light in the image is observed. This is called line spectra.
When a glass tube is filled with H2 gas at low pressure and
The hydrogen atomabsorbs or emits radiation of a certain frequenciesthus, these atoms can only absorb or emits radiation with certain energies. This is the reason of getting discrete colored lines corresponding to specific wavelength of transition of electrons from two different energy levels.
The energy levels of hydrogen atoms are quantized.
