Hydrogen Visible Light Spectrography

Now you should have colors that look fairly similar to the Hydrogen Spectra. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly aligned with the spectra, for these purposes, it shouldn’t make much of a difference.

You should have a series of energy levels and transitions that allow you to make the Hydrogen Spectra. Please select the spectra that most closely resembles your own.

Now that you have your version of the energy levels in the spectra, think about how the hydrogen atom might be most efficiently organized. Some hints are listed below.

1. The hydrogen atom is fairly simple. Minimize the number of energy levels used to create the spectra.
2. Energy levels take up a small range of energies. Minimize the energy range used by the energy levels.
3. The Visible Spectra group of colors has its electron return to a single energy level. Maximize the transition to the lowest energy level.

Use these ideas to modify your spectrum as needed. Use the spectroscopy program to create the most efficient model in terms of numbers of energy levels. Select the form of energy diagram that now looks most like yours.

Refer to the diagrams above if necessary.
