Discuss how Bohr was able to predict the line spectra of hydrogen atom.

Discuss how Bohr was able to predict the line spectra of hydrogen atom.

When enegy is supplied to any atom, the electrons in it gain enegy and jump to a new shell,  matching exactly the separation between the energies of the given orbits. We, see these photons as lines of coloured light (the Balmer Series, for example) in emission or dark lines in absorption. When we take a large number of hydrogen atoms then the energy level of different electrons can be seen.
