question

(a) draw the energy level diagram for the line spectra representing lyman series and balmer series in the spectrum of hydrogen atom.

(b) using the rydberg formula for the spectrum of hydrogen atom, calculate the largest and shortest wavelengths of the emission lines of the balmer series in the spectrum of hydrogen atom. (use the value of rydberg constant )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the energy level diagram for line spectra

(a)

(b)

is the largest wavelength of emission

now calculation for smallest wavelength, we have :

is the smallest wavelength of emission.
