Clues to electronic structure • periodicity of elements • emission spectra • ionization energies
Electromagnetic spectrum c = f λ where c is the speed of light, f is the frequency and λ is the wavelength

Hydrogen emission spectrum red 656nm, blue 486nm, indigo 434nm, 410nm violet 397nm convergence at 365nm
Emission spectra energy emitted as photons when electrons move between energy levels hf
Atomic energy levels in hydrogen principal quantum number, n shells ground state ionization energy
Sodium emission spectrum Line at 569nm whenelectrons in thirdshell are excited and then fall back givingoff a photon of visible light
