Atomic transitions allow us to find that the correct answer to what would happen if there was no quantization is:
d. the spectrum would be continous
In the models of atoms the correct explanation for the energy was given by Planck, by establishing that the energy of an electron is:
E = h ν
Where E is the energy, h the Planck constant and ν the frequency.
Therefore a transition occurs as the jump of an electron from one level to another
ΔE = E₂ - E₁
In all atomic models the levels are discrete, so the jumps are also discrete.
If the levels were continuous, the energy difference between the lines disappears and we have a continuous emission spectrum.
Let's review the different answers:
a. False. The lines disappear
b. False. This for if the separation between levels increases, which is the opposite process to the one analyzed.
c. False. The lines disappear
d) True. The spectrum is a continuum without any separation.
In conclusion, using the atomic transitions we find that the correct answer for what would happen if there was no quantization is:
d. the spectrum would be constnuous
