### When to use the Bohr Frequency Condition?

When do we use the Bohr Frequency Condition and what is the background on it?

You would use it to describe the relation between the change in energy of an atom (as it transitions between two states) or molecule & the frequency of radiation emitted or absorbed.

The equation $\Delta E=hv$ or $E_{upper}-E_{lower}=hv$ describes this relation.

The Bohr Frequency Condition is used when a high energy electron drops to a lower energy level and the difference in energy is given off as a photon.

The Bohr frequency condition demonstrates an electron's transition between energy levels. Differences in energy levels are given off as photons and only photons of certain energy are given off exactly matching the energy level difference.
