Why does helium exhibit more visible emission lines than hydrogen?

Physics

Pani-rosa [81]3 years ago

Helium exhibits more visible emission lines or spectral lines than hydrogen is due to the fact that helium has two electrons compared to hydrogen which only has one electron.  The greater the chance of the energy levels falling within the visible range when there's more energy level.  Spectral lines are usually the result of the interaction of quantum system, usually atoms but can also be the molecules or the atomic nuclei sometimes together with a single photon.  Whenever photon has the right amount of energy in order to allow changes in energy state, the system, or the electron changing orbitals will absorbed the photon, then will be emitted whether in same frequency with the original of in cascade.

USPshnik [31]
No because an atom consists of <u>two</u> main parts <em>and</em> <u>three</u> subatomic particles - protons, neutrons, electrons. Each one is smaller than an atom, therefore they are subatomic particles. An atom only requires protons and electrons to be an atom - e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Neutrons do not affect the overall charge of the atom, and only increase the atomic mass.

A ball having a mass of 200 g is released from rest at a height of 400 mm above a very large fixed metal surface. If the ball re
AysviL [449]

Answer:

0.9

Explanation:

h = 400 mm, h' = 325 mm

Let the coefficient of restitution be e.

h' = e^2 x h

325 = e^2 x 400

e^2 = 0.8125

e = 0.9
