  • The spectra show that atoms emit photons in narrow bands. The narrow bands can all be explained as corresponding to differences in two energy levels of the form E/n^2 If there were no special levels, the spectrum would be the continuous black body spectrum with no special bands.
  • 3-22-2017 Energy is not a physical unit. It is a philosophical concept and an accounting technique used to analyze mechanical and chemical exchanges. In nuclear physics it is defined as a wavelength of light, in biology it is a synonym for metabolism, and in public utilities they say energy when they mean connectivity.
