Question
Chapter 28, Problem 25A
To determine
To Describe:The way, line spectra from gas-discharge tube are produced.
Expert Solution & Answer
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.
