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 P28.19. Consider the photon of the longest wavelength corresponding to a transition shown in the figure. Determine (a) its energy and (b) its wavelength. Consider the spectral line of 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?
