Abstract
Electrons of an atom exist in well defined energy levels which can jump to higher energy levels on absorbing thermal or electrical energy. The atomic absorption is subsequently followed by emission of light radiation. The wavelength of this emitted radiation is distinct and characteristic of every atom. With the help of a spectrometer the wavelength of these electromagnetic radiations can be visualized and measured. The emission lines in all other series for the atom can then be calculated using the Balmer-Rydberg equation. This establishes an inter-connection between the electronic transitions and the corresponding wavelengths which can be depicted in the ...
