Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.
Electrons revolve around the nucleus only in stationary path, called
energy levels or orbits or shells. Each energy level has a definite
energy associated with it. As one moves away from the nucleus, the
energy of the states increases. According to Bohr’s theory, when an
electron jumps from ground state to excited state, it emits a
radiation of definite frequency (or wavelength). Corresponding to
the wavelength of each photon of light emitted, a bright line appears
in the spectrum.
