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.

Chapter 28, Problem 25A
To determine

To Describe:The way, line spectra from gas-discharge tube are produced.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

In gas discharge tubes, energy is supplied to the gas. This energy causes the electrons to excite and move to higher energy levels.

After that excited electrons lose energy and drop back to less excited state. These energy difference between levels tends to the production of photons of various energies corresponding to spectral lines.
