Identifying student and teacher difficulties in interpreting atomic spectra using a quantum model of emission and absorption of radiation
Our study sets out to identify the difficulties that high school students, teachers, and university students encounter when trying to explain atomic spectra. To do so, we identify the key concepts that any quantum model for the emission and absorption of electromagnetic radiation must include to acc...
