(c28p47) The Lyman series for a (new!?) one-electron atom isobserved in a distant galaxy. The wavelengths of the first fourlines and the short-wavelength limit of this Lyman series are givenby the energy level diagram in Figure P28.47. Based on thisinformation, calculate (a) the energies of the ground state andfirst four excited states for this oneelectron atom.
a. What is the energy of the ground state?
b. What is the energy of the first excited state?
c. What is the energy of the second excited state?
d. What is the energy of the third excited state?
e. What is the energy of the fourth excited state?
f. Calculate the longest-wavelength (alpha) lines in the Balmerseries for this atom.
g. Calculate the short-wavelength series limit in the Balmer seriesfor this atom.
