Review Concepts
What are Kirchhoff's laws? What do they explain?
Draw a picture of a Bohr model of the atom. Label
the proton, the nucleus, the electron, the ground state and
the first excited state.
What causes an electron to jump from its ground
state to an excited state? (two possible answers)
Why do only certain photons get absorbed by atoms?
What does this have to do with the energy levels of the
electron orbits?
How are molecular lines different from atomic lines?
How does line intensity depend on temperature?
