Explain how the hydrogen line spectrum serves as evidence for discrete electron energy levels in atoms.
Some electron energy levels in atomic hydrogen are shown in Fig. 7.1. On Fig. 7.1, add an arrow to indicate a third possible transition.
Calculate the wavelength of the emitted light for the transition in (i).
A beam of light has a continuous spread of wavelengths from $400\,\text{nm}$ to $700\,\text{nm}$. It is directed onto some cool hydrogen gas, as shown in Fig. 7.2. Using the wavelength values from (b), state and explain what the emergent light spectrum looks like.
