is responsible for the mass of the atom, the extra nuclear part is
responsible for its volume.
Drawbacks:
1. According to the electromagnetic theory of Maxwell, when a charged
particle moves under the influence of attractive force it loses energy
continuously in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Therefore an
electron in an orbit will emit radiation.
ACTIVE SITE EDUTECH- 9844532971
As a result of this, the electron should lose energy at every turn and
move closer and closer to the nucleus following a spiral path.
The ultimate result is that it will fall into the nucleus thereby making
the atom unstable.

AIM-To understand nature of Electromagnetic Radiation
Nature of Light (Electromagnetic Radiation): Electromagnetic radiation do
not need any medium for propagation e.g visible, ultra violet, infrared, x-rays, -
rays, radio waves, radiant energy etc.
Two theories were proposed to explain the nature and the propagation of
Y
light
TR
i. Corpuscular theory: This theory was proposed by Newton. According to this
IS
theory light is propagated in the form of invisible small particles. i.e.light
has particle nature. EM

iii) The vertical component of wave, ‘E’ indicates the change in the
strength of the electric field and the horizontal component of the
wave ‘H’ indicates the change in the strength of the magnetic field.
iv) These radiation do not require any medium for propagation.
v) The radiations posses wave character and travel with the velocity of
light i.e. 3x108 m/sec because of the above characteristics, the
radiation are called electromagnetic radiations or waves.

Electromagnetic radiation is explained by following characteristics:

back into different lower energy states in one or several steps. In each
step the energy is emitted in the form of radiation and is indicated by
a line.

hydrogen has many spectral lines.
