Parts and what they mean

• Revolving electron (घूमता इलेक्ट्रॉन) — Circular motion is accelerated motion (centripetal acceleration).
• Emitted EM radiation (उत्सर्जित वैद्युत चुंबकीय विकिरण) — An accelerated charge radiates EM waves, so the electron loses energy. Its frequency of revolution changes, so the emitted frequency changes continuously → a continuous spectrum.
• Inward spiral (अंदर की ओर सर्पिल) — Losing energy, the electron would spiral into the nucleus — the atom could not be stable.
• Nucleus (नाभिक) — Positive centre that the electron would fall into.
