Question

How to show that the atomic levels are quantized

Answer 1

More technically, the uniqueness -- or "quantization" -- of enregy is related to Plank's constant, which specifies "how quantized" energy can get. The formula is: E=hf where E is energy, f is frequency and h is a very tiny constant called the Plank's constant ( 6.62⋅10−36m2kgsec )
