Why line spectra is regarded as the fingerprints of atoms ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The line specta of atom of every element is unique . Therefore line spectrq which in studying the electronic structure of atom results in the identification of the element by matching the spectra of unknown element with that of the known element as is done in the case of fingerprinting .
