Hydrogen Spectrum Simulation
Visualizing quantum transitions and spectral emissions
This simulation demonstrates the electron transitions in a hydrogen atom when excited by a 12.5eV electron beam. The electron jumps from the ground state (n=1) to the n=3 energy level, then emits photons as it returns to lower energy states, producing characteristic spectral lines.
