ATOMS
Hydrogen spectrum and spectral series:

 When hydrogen atom is excited, it returns to ground state by


emitting the energy it had absorbed earlier.
 This energy is given out by atom in the
form of radiations of different wave
lengths as electron jumps down from a
higher to a lower orbits.
ATOMS
 Transition from differrent orbits cause different wavelengths.

atom emitting them. If the atom goes to a

Spectral series of hydrogen spectrum:
 The spetral lines arise from the transition of electron from a spectral
series .
 Mainly there are five series and each series named after its discoverer
as Lyman series, Balmer series, Paschen series, Brackett series and
Pfund series .
 According to Bohr’s theroy the wavelength of the
radiations emitted from hydrogen atom is given by,

Where n2 is the outer orbit and n1 is the
inner orbit.
