The Balmer series for the hydrogen atom corresponds to electronic transitions that terminate in the state with quantum number n=2 as shown in figure 41.7 (See the figure below). Consider the photon of the longest wavelength corresponding to a transition shown in the figure. Determine
a. its energy
b. its wavelength
Consider the spectral line of the shortest wavelength corresponding to a transition shown in the figure. Find
c. its photon energy and
d. its wavelength.
e. What is the shortest possible wavelength in the Balmer series?
