Atomic spectra and the Bohr model: Students view continuous spectra from incandescent and fluorescent lights and line spectra of selected elements. Students relate energy to frequency of light seen in the spectra. The presence of only certain lines in atomic spectra is related to Bohr's model of the atom. In a second experiment, students determine electron energies in the hydrogen atom.; Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Science); By Lisa Bacon.
