  2. Emission spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_spectrum

    The frequencies of light that an atom can emit are dependent on states the electrons can be in. When excited, an electron moves to a higher energy level or orbital. When the electron falls back to its ground level the light is emitted. Emission spectrum of hydrogen. The above picture shows the visible light emission spectrum for hydrogen. If ...

  3. Sharp series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharp_series

    The spectral lines include some in the visible light, and they extend into the ultraviolet. The lines get closer and closer together as the frequency increases never exceeding the series limit. The sharp series was important in the development of the understanding of electron shells and subshells in atoms.

  4. Hydrogen spectral series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_spectral_series

    The spectral series of hydrogen, on a logarithmic scale. The emission spectrum of atomic hydrogen has been divided into a number of spectral series, with wavelengths given by the Rydberg formula. These observed spectral lines are due to the electron making transitions between two energy levels in an atom.

  5. Electron spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_spectroscopy

    Electron spectroscopy refers to a group formed by techniques based on the analysis of the energies of emitted electrons such as photoelectrons and Auger electrons.This group includes X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), which also known as Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA), Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), and Auger ...

  6. Balmer series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balmer_series

    The red H-alpha spectral line of the Balmer series of atomic hydrogen, which is the transition from the shell n = 3 to the shell n = 2, is one of the conspicuous colours of the universe. It contributes a bright red line to the spectra of emission or ionisation nebula, like the Orion Nebula , which are often H II regions found in star forming ...

  7. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle-resolved...

    The instrument's resolution shows up as artificial broadening of the spectral features: a Fermi energy cutoff wider than expected from the sample's temperature alone, and the theoretical electron's spectral function convolved with the instrument's resolution function in both energy and momentum/angle. [4] [5] [6]

  8. Spectral line shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line_shape

    Emission spectrum of a fluorescent light, exhibiting many spectral lines. Each line corresponds to an energy level in one of the elements inside the light. A spectral line can result from an electron transition in an atom, molecule or ion, which is associated with a specific amount of energy, E. When this energy is measured by means of some ...

  9. Principal series (spectroscopy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_series...

    The principal series has given the letter p to the p atomic orbital and subshell. [1] Grotrian diagram for sodium. The principal series is due to the 3s-np transitions shown here in red. The lines are absorption lines when the electron gains energy from an s subshell to a p subshell. When electrons descend in energy they produce an emission ...
