Chapter 11, Problem 20QAP
When a tube containing hydrogen atoms is energized by passing several thousand volts of electricity into the tube, the hydrogen emits light than when passed through a prism, resolves into the "bright line" spectrum shown in Fig. 11.10. Why do hydrogen atoms emit bright lines of specific wavelengths rather than a continuous spectrum?
