Bohr's Model Game
Click an orbit or fire a photon. The electron jumps only when \(hf = |E_i - E_f|\). Complete Balmer and Lyman missions.
Click an orbit or fire a photon. The electron jumps only when \(hf = |E_i - E_f|\). Complete Balmer and Lyman missions.
Electrons occupy stationary orbits with angular momentum nħ and energy En = −13.6 eV / n². Radius grows as n².
A photon is absorbed only if hf exactly equals the gap to a higher level. Emission occurs when the electron falls, releasing a photon of the same colour.
Series: Lyman (to n=1, UV), Balmer (to n=2, visible), Paschen (to n=3, IR). Rydberg: 1/λ = R(1/nf² − 1/ni²).
