B. Bohr Model
e- exist only in orbits with specific amounts of
energy called energy levels
Therefore…
◦ e- can only gain or lose certain amounts of energy
◦ only certain photons are produced

Energy of photon depends on the
difference in energy levels

Use the Bohr Model/EM Spectrum on p. 8 of your
reference tables.
1. What type of light is produced when an
electron moves from n=4 to n=1?
2. What wavelength is produced when an
electron moves from n=3 to n=2?
3. What color of light is number 2?
4. Which has more energy: red light or violet
light?
5. Which has less energy: Radio waves or
ultraviolet radiation?
6. Which has a smaller wavelength green or
infrared?
