Question

Which of the following properties was explained by Bohr's atomic model?

• A. Line spectra of H atom
• B. Fine spectra of H atom
• C. Both line and fine spectra of H atom
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Correct answer: Line spectra of H atom
 
Explanation:
Bohr's atomic model successfully explained the line spectra of the hydrogen atom. According to Bohr, electrons revolve in discrete energy levels, and the emission or absorption of light occurs when electrons jump between these levels. 

Each jump corresponds to a specific amount of energy, resulting in a spectral line. This explained the presence of distinct lines in the hydrogen emission spectrum. 

However, Bohr's model could not explain the fine structure (very closely spaced lines) observed in more detailed spectra. 

Hence, the correct answer is: Line spectra of H atom.
