Question
In a laboratory experiment on emission from atomic hydrogen in a discharge tube, only a small number of lines are observed whereas a large number of lines are present in the hydrogen spectrum of a star. This is because in a laboratory
Options
the amount of hydrogen taken is much smaller than that present in the star
the temperature of hydrogen is much smaller than that of the star
the pressure of hydrogen is much smaller than that of the star
the gravitational pull is much smaller than that in the star
Solution
the temperature of hydrogen is much smaller than that of the star
The number of lines of the hydrogen spectrum depends on the excitation of the hydrogen atom. This is dependent on the heat energy absorbed by the hydrogen atoms. More the temperature of the hydrogen sample, more is the heat energy. The temperature of hydrogen at the star is much more than that can be produced in the laboratory. Hence, less number of lines are observed in the hydrogen spectrum in the laboratory than that in a star.
