@@ -40,7 +40,7 @@ is a fundamental physical constant called the {\bf Rydberg constant} (here $m_e$ mass). Numerically, ${R_y} = 1.0974 \times 10^5 cm^{-1}$ and $hc{R_y} = 13.605 eV$. Because the allowed energies of an electron in a hydrogen atom, the electron can change its state -only by making a transition ("jump") from an one state of energy $E_1$ to another state of lower +only by making a transition (``jump'') from an one state of energy $E_1$ to another state of lower energy $E_2$ by emitting a photon of energy $h\nu = E_1 - E_2$ that carries away the excess energy. Thus, by exciting atoms into high-energy states using a discharge and then measuring the frequencies of emission one can figure out the energy separation between various energy levels. Since it is |
