    Nov 5Thu Exp. 5:  Spectroscopes and Line Spectra

    Exp.  5 is about spectroscopes, line spectra and light.

    You need to Define EMR, wavelength, frequency, and energy of EMR. Give the equations that relate each. Explain what is meant by the emission spectra of atoms. Give the Rydberg-Balmer equation and for what it is used.

    Explain what happens when electrons are excited by an electrical current or heat from a Bunsen burner and why it often produces visible light.
