Answer to Question #141982 in Quantum Mechanics for Darren

Question

(a) Distinguish between emission and absorption spectra
(b) Excitation and ionization energy

Answer 1

Solution

a) when electron goes higher to lower levels the this process generate emission spectra.

when electron goes lower to higher levels the this process generate absorption spectra.

b) energy required to electron to higher level is called excitation energy.

Energy required to ionize any matarial is called ionization energy.
