Electronically excited hydrogen emits in the visible part of the spectrum in a series of lines known as the Balmer series. Each of these transitions terminates in the n=2 level of hydrogen. What is the energy and wavelength and upper state quantum number for the first four of these transitions starting with the longest wavelength emission?
