Atomic Structure and Line Spectra

Study of electron energy levels and the production of characteristic X-rays.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does the Bohr model explain the discrete wavelengths observed in emission spectra?
  2. 2What variables affect the minimum wavelength of X-rays produced in a vacuum tube?
  3. 3How would an engineer use spectroscopy to identify the chemical composition of a material?
