max planck proposed that a hot object radiated energy in small, specific amounts called | quanta |
the energy of a photon, or quantum, is related to its | frequency |
a bright-line spectrum of an atom is caused by the energy released when electrons | fall to a lower energy level |
for an electron in an atom to change from the ground state to an excited state | energy must be absorbed |
Bohr's theory helped explain why | excited hydrogen gas gives off certain colors of light |
according to Bohr's theory, an excited atom would | radiate energy |
