What is the width of the Paschen emission series; that is, whatisthe width from the lowest wavelength to the series limit?


This is a practice exam question for my final tomorrow.Answerkey indicates the answer is 1050nm, but I keep coming to ananswerof 820nm. Please help!

Consider a transparent cylinder filled with hydrogen at room temperature. Use the Boltzmann equation to estimate the ratio of (i) the number of atoms in the first excited state relative to the ground state, and (ii) the number of atoms in the second excited state relative to the ground state. You will need to use the fact that the statistical weight of the nth state of hydrogen is gn = 2n2. Use your findings to explain why light from a blackbody source passing through this cylinder should show only the absorption lines of the Lyman series, not those of either the Balmer or Paschen series. As part of your explanation, you should briefly define the Lyman, Balmer, and Paschen series. To what temperature would you need to heat the gas to ensure that the number of atoms in the first excited state was 1% of the atoms in the ground state? To what stellar spectral type would this temperature correspond?

A.) 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. What is theenergy 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?
