Spectroscopy, or the study of how light interacts with matter, is an extremely powerful tool scientists use to identify unknownsubstances. One branch of spectroscopy is the measurement of the interactions between gases and visible light.Sending a very high voltage through a gas adds energy to the system causing some of the electrons to enter a more unstable, orexcited, state. To return to the stable state, the electron emits some of that energy in the form of light.Using the fact that electrons can only exist in certain energy "shelves," we can predict what wavelengths of light, or colors, are emittedwhen we add energy to the system. The following equation shows the energy levels for a hydrogen atom with only one electron (whendealing with multiple electrons and protons the math becomes far more complex and is outside the scope of this activity).= R#-)Where:X is the wavelength of lightRH is the Rydberg Constant for a Hydrogen atom, 1.0974 - 10 /mn2 is the final energy levelni is the starting energy level(ni and n2 are always integers: 1, 2, 3, ..)1.
