The Magnetic Force acts perpendicular
to the Magnetic Field and the velocity.

1911: Rutherford’s Planetary Model of the
Atom
As nuclear size
increases, the distance
between nucleons
increases and the strong
force becomes too weak
to overcome the
Coulomb electrical
repulsion.

All Elements Have Isotopes
Same # of protons - different # of neutrons
Atomic Mass of an Element is an average of all Isotopes
Isotopes have the same chemistry as the atom.
This is why radioactive isotopes can be so dangerous.
The body doesn’t see the difference between water made with hydrogen and water
made with tritium.

* Rule 1 : A hot and opaque solid, liquid or highly compressed gas emits a continuous spectrum.
* Rule 2 : A hot, transparent gas produces an emission spectrum with bright lines.
* Rule 3 : If a continuous spectrum passes through a gas at a lower temperature, the transparent
cooler gas generates dark absorption lines.
Kirchhoff deduced that elements were present in the atmosphere of the Sun
and were absorbing their characteristic wavelengths, producing the absorption
lines in the solar spectrum. He published in 1861 the first atlas of the solar
spectrum, obtained with a prism ; however, these wavelengths were not very
precise : the dispersion of the prism was not linear at all.

Anders Jonas Ångström 1869
Ångström measured the wavelengths on the
four visible lines of the hydrogen spectrum,
obtained with a diffraction grating, whose
dispersion is linear, and replaced
Kirchhoff's arbitrary scale by the
wavelengths, expressed in the metric
system, using a small unit (10-10 m) with
which his name was to be associated.

Balmer Series: 1885
Johann Balmer found an empirical equation that correctly
predicted the four visible emission lines of hydrogen

Dispersion: Diffraction Gratings
How does dispersion with a grating compare with a prism?
Longer wavelength light is bent more with a grating.
Shorter wavelength light is bent more with a prism.
