Question

Bohr model fails to explain which of these?
  1. A
    Energy levels of hydrogen
  2. B
    Zeeman splitting of spectral lines
    Correct
  3. C
    Ionisation energy of hydrogen
  4. D
    Rydberg formula

Correct answer

Zeeman splitting of spectral lines

Explanation

Bohr model cannot explain the splitting of spectral lines in a magnetic field (Zeeman effect), fine structure, or spectra of multi-electron atoms. It works only for H-like species.
