Light and Electrons

According to the Bohr Model, an electron gains or loses energy by:

• Jumping from an S orbital to a P orbital

• Moving faster or slower in an allowed orbit.

• Jumping from a low energy level to a higher energy level and visa versa.

• Jumping from one atom to another atom.

A hydrogen atom is in a ground state when its electron:

• Remains at the lowest energy level.

• Has moved away from the atom to the ground.

• Is moving back and forth through the nucleus.

• Has stopped moving.

Hydrogen produces a line spectrum in the visible light range with:

• four color lines

• three color lines

• two color lines

• one color line

When an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from an orbit farther from the nucleus to an orbit closer to the nucleus, it:

• emits four photons, one for each of the color lines observed in the line spectrum of hydrogen

• emits a single photon with an energy equal to the energy difference of the two orbits

• emits a number of photons dependent on the number of energy levels jumped over

• none of the above
