Solution: With reference to the figure below, are the allowed energy states in the Bohr model for the H atom more like steps or more like a ramp?

Problem

With reference to the figure below, are the allowed energy states in the Bohr model for the H atom more like steps or more like a ramp?

A diagram shows that the potential energy of a person walking up a ramp increases in a uniform, continuous manner, while the potential energy walking up steps increases in a stepwise, quantized manner.
