The energy of the highest energy photon of Balmer series of hydrogen spectrum is close to
Why does the emission spectrum of an element provide insights into its atomic structure?
The emission spectrum is continuous and doesn't provide specific information.
All elements have the same emission spectrum.
The emission spectrum is caused by the nucleus of the atom.
The wavelengths of light emitted correspond to specific electron transitions between energy levels, which are unique to each element.
