Spectral lines are produced when an electron jumps from one energy level to another within an atom
{"Image DocumentName": "Spectral lines are produced when an electron jumps from one energy level to another within an atom", "Image ImageDescription": "The nucleus of an atom is surrounded by electrons that occupy only certain orbits or energy levels. When an electron jumps from one energy level to another, it emits or absorbs a photon of appropriate energy (and hence of a specific wavelength). The spectral lines of a particular element correspond to the various electron transitions between energy levels in atoms of that element. Bohr\u2019s model of the atom correctly predicts the wavelengths of hydrogen\u2019s spectral lines.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
