What if Anything is
Wrong Task – Light
Emission
View the emission spectrum for
Hydrogen
Describe the emission spectrum
of Hydrogen
A.
B.
C.
It is a continuous
spectrum like a light
bulb
It consists of bright
lines at distinct
colors
It is like a rainbow
View the absorption spectrum
for Hydrogen
A student makes the following
comment.
Student: “In the absorption
spectrum for hydrogen, the
hydrogen emits a continuous
spectrum except at the
wavelengths corresponding to
the lines in the hydrogen
emission spectrum.”
Answer the following on your
own
What if anything is wrong with the student’s
statement?
The statement is correct
B. The light is emitted by a source different than the
hydrogen. The missing lines have nothing to do
with hydrogen
C. The hydrogen emits at all frequencies just a
smaller amount for the dark lines
D. Hydrogen absorbs light from another source, and
reemits in all directions reducing the brightness
A.
Consult with your neighbors and
answer again.
