Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true about the emission spectrum of hydrogen?
  • Step 1: Understand what an emission spectrum is. It is a spectrum of light emitted by a substance when it is energized.
  • Step 2: Know that hydrogen has specific energy levels for its electrons.
  • Step 3: When an electron in hydrogen moves from a higher energy level to a lower one, it releases energy in the form of light.
  • Step 4: Each transition between energy levels produces a specific wavelength of light, resulting in a line on the spectrum.
  • Step 5: The lines in the emission spectrum of hydrogen are not continuous; they are discrete, meaning they appear at specific points.
