Question
Confused
Bohr's model of the atom is a system consisting of a small, dense
nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. How does Bohr's model
explain spectral emission lines?
Bohr developed a formula (shown below) that predicted the
wavelength of a photon given off when an electron moves from one
orbit to another orbit. His formula worked well to explain spectral
emission lines in the hydrogen atom.
Calculate the wavelength of light that would be emitted for the orbital
transition of n = 2 to n = 1. Submit an answer to four significant figures
