Given information
The three wavelengths are shown by an atomic emission spectrum of the hydrogen atom are , and .
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
These three wavelengths are shown by an atomic emission spectrum lines in the infrared region. Thus, these wavelength lines come from the Paschen series with the principal quantum number .
Therefore, the value of the final principal quantum level is .
Conversion of into is done as,
Therefore,
The initial principal quantum level is calculated by the Rydberg formula.
