  1. 4.2: Understanding Atomic Spectra - Chemistry LibreTexts

    Bohr's model suggests that the atomic spectra of atoms are produced by electrons gaining energy from some source, jumping up to a higher energy level, then immediately dropping back to a lower energy …

  2. Atomic Spectra Database | NIST

    Jul 21, 2009 · This database provides access and search capability for NIST critically evaluated data on atomic energy levels, wavelengths, and transition probabilities that are reasonably up-to-date.

  3. Atomic Emission and Absorption Spectra: Definition and Formula

    Jun 10, 2025 · Atomic spectra refer to the unique patterns of light emitted or absorbed by atoms when their electrons move between different energy levels. When an electron jumps from a higher energy …

  4. Atomic spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    Since unique elements have unique emission spectra, atomic spectroscopy is applied for determination of elemental compositions. It can be divided by atomization source or by the type of spectroscopy …

  5. Atomic Spectra - GeeksforGeeks

    Nov 3, 2025 · Atomic Spectra refer to the pattern of lines (bright or dark) produced when the light emitted or absorbed by atoms is analyzed through a spectroscope — an instrument that splits light …

  6. Atomic Spectra - ChemTalk

    What is an Atomic Spectra? Atomic spectra or atomic emission spectra are plots that show the unique wavelengths of light which each element emits due to an electron transitioning from a higher energy …

  7. What Is the Atomic Spectra and How Does It Work?

    Sep 2, 2025 · Scientists use atomic spectra to decipher the underlying structure of atoms and how their electrons behave. This phenomenon allows for precise identification and analysis of various materials.

  8. Atomic Spectra - Rutgers University

    As Dr. Matilsky discussed in his video lecture, atomic spectra occur due to the fact that orbital radii of electrons, and hence their energies, are quantized at specific levels determined by the atomic …

  9. Spectroscopy - Atomic Structure, Light, Wavelengths | Britannica

    Jan 7, 2026 · The emission and absorption spectra of the elements depend on the electronic structure of the atom. An atom consists of a number of negatively charged electrons bound to a nucleus …

  10. 2.2: Atomic Spectra - Chemistry LibreTexts

    Oct 3, 2025 · Another experiment that challenged existing scientific models was atomic spectra, the light emitted when an element is vaporized and excited electrically. Atomic spectra provided direct …
