"Atomic Spectra: Understanding Emission and Absorption Spectra"

Title: "Atomic Spectra: Understanding Emission and Absorption Spectra"

Description:
Explore the fascinating world of atomic spectra, the unique patterns of light emitted or absorbed by electrons in an atom during energy transitions. In this video, you'll learn:

🔹 Energy Absorption and Excitation:

How atoms absorb energy from heat, light, or electricity.
Electrons move from the ground state to an excited state when energy matches the energy gap.
🔹 Electron Relaxation and Emission:

Unstable electrons release energy as light while returning to lower energy levels.
The emitted light corresponds to specific wavelengths and frequencies based on the formula:
E = hν = hc/λ
where:
E = Energy difference
h = Planck's constant (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J)
ν = Frequency
λ = Wavelength
🔹 Types of Atomic Spectra:
1️⃣ Emission Spectrum:

Electrons release energy, creating bright coloured lines on a dark background.
2️⃣ Absorption Spectrum:
Electrons absorb specific wavelengths, leaving dark lines on a continuous bright background.
🔹 Formation of Line Spectra:

Line spectra result from quantized energy levels unique to each element.
Distinct lines correspond to electron transitions, forming:
Emission Line Spectrum: Bright lines on dark background.
Absorption Line Spectrum: Dark lines on bright background.
Dive into the principles of quantized energy levels, photon emission, and the beauty of line spectra unique to each element. Perfect for students and science enthusiasts!
