Key Words / FlashCards
| Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
|---|---|
| Spectral line | A spectral line is a dark or bright line in an otherwise uniform and continuous spectrum, resulting from a deficiency or excess of photons in a narrow frequency range, compared with the nearby frequencies. |
Learning aids / Gadgets

Real life uses :
Study the behavior of hydrogen atom.
Practical examples around us
| Examples | Explainations |
|---|---|
| Redshift | Redshift happens when light or other electromagnetic radiation from an object moving away from the observer is increased in wavelength, or shifted to the red end of the spectrum. The spectral series are important in astronomy for detecting the presence of hydrogen and calculating red shifts. |
What you learn in Theory:
The spectral lines of hydrogen correspond to particular jumps of the electron between energy levels.
What you learn in Practice:
The spectral lines are grouped into series according to n?. Lines are named sequentially starting from the longest wavelength/lowest frequency of the series, using Greek letters within each series.
