Question

How does a certain frequency of line occur in the hydrogen spectrum?

Answer 1

Answer: Your welcome!

Step-by-step explanation:

A certain frequency of line in the hydrogen spectrum occurs when an electron in the atom transitions from one energy level to another, releasing or absorbing a photon of light with a specific frequency. This frequency is determined by the energy difference between the two levels and is referred to as the Rydberg equation. The Rydberg equation specifies the frequency of the photon as a function of the energy levels and the mass of the electron. The frequency of a line in the hydrogen spectrum is therefore determined by the energy difference between the two levels, as well as the mass of the electron.

Answer 2

Though a hydrogen atom has only one electron, it contains a large number of shells, so when this single electron jumps from one shell to another, a photon is emitted, and the energy difference of the shells causes different wavelengths to be released... hence, mono-electronic hydrogen has many spectral lines
