Atomic Spectra
According to the Bohr model of an atom, the electron in an atom moves around a nucleus in fixed orbits with specific energies known as energy levels. The orbital energies are quantized. The electrons remain in these energy levels until they emit or absor…
Ruby Lasers
Lasers are devices that emit light using atoms or molecules at a certain wavelength and amplify the light to produce a narrow beam of radiation. It works as per the principle of electromagnetic radiation. Their source of emission contains the same freque…
Balmer Series
The spectrum of frequency observed when electromagnetic radiation is emitted from an atom when it goes from higher energy state to lower state, is known as emission spectrum. This transition occurs when an excited electron moves from higher to lower stat…
Emission Spectrum
Every state of matter tries to be at minimum potential energy or it can be said that the atoms of element/ substance arrange themselves such that overall energy is minimum.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The line spectra produced by hydrogen gas-discharge tubes are different from those produced by helium gas-discharge tubes.

The line spectra produced by hydrogen gas-discharge tubes are different from line spectra produced by helium gas-discharge tubes are different because each element has a different configuration of electrons as well as different energy levels

Conclusion:

Hence, this is why the line spectra produced by hydrogen gas-discharge tubes are different from those produced by helium gas-discharge tubes.
