To determine

To explain why all the emission lines are not observed in absorption

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Based on Bohr’s atomic model, how many visible wavelengths of the helium emission spectrum end at energy level n=4? What about the absorption spectrum?
The wavelengths for the emission lines observed in the mercury lamp spectra do not match the wavelengths calculated using the Bohr model for the hydrogen atom. Explain why.
Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion using the Bohr model, determine the energy in joules of the photon produced when an electron in a He+ ion moves from the orbit with n=10 to the orbit with n = 5. (assume that the Bohr constant and radius are 2.179X10^-18J and 5.292X10^-11m)
