the emission spectrum of hydrogen shows discrete, bright, colored lines. which characteristic of the bohr model is best supported by this observation?
○ energy is released when an electron moves to a higher energy level.
○ smaller atoms have fewer spectral lines than larger atoms.
○ the energy of an electron increases with distance from the nucleus.
○ electrons cannot exist in locations other than in specific orbits.

Explanation:

with distance, this does not directly explain the discrete spectrum as well as fixed orbits do.
