12. Explain the reason for the hydrogen line-emission spectrum.
Answer: Electrons in atoms can occupy orbitals of only specific energies. When an atom is excited, the electron is no longer in the ground state. When the electron returns to a lower energy level, light is emitted. Because only specific energies are allowed, certain wavelengths of light are emitted, giving rise to the individual lines in the spectrum.

13. When blue light shines on potassium metal in a photocell, electrons are emitted. But when yellow light shines on the metal, no current is observed. Explain.
Answer: Photons of blue light are higher energy than photons of yellow light. Electrons can be emitted only when a photon of sufficient energy strikes the surface of the metal. Therefore, the energy of blue light is greater than the threshold energy, but the energy of yellow light is not.
