Bohr Orbits

Energy-Level Diagram Plot

Energy-Level Diagram Plot

An energy-level diagram plots energy vertically and is useful in visualizing the energy states of a system and the transitions between them. This diagram is for the hydrogen-atom electrons, showing a transition between two orbits having energies $E_4$ and $E_2$.
