Chapter 11, Problem 102E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether the quantum mechanical model has a satisfactory explanation for the lines in atomic spectra or not is to be stated. The corresponding answer is to be justified.

Concept introduction:

The spectrum of light emitted by electron transitions of atom results the spectrum with discrete color lines. These discrete color lines describe that the electron transitions take place from one fixed energy level to another fixed energy level. In the spectrum of white light only continues color lines are observed while no discrete lines are present.
