Question
The fundamental series of the emission spectrum of sodium shows transitions at the vacuum wavelengths (nm) 1846.4, 1268.27, 1083.75, and 996.38. Assuming the quantum defects for the nf levels are zero, and using the 3s --> 3d separation of 29,172.9 cm¹ (ignore the spin-orbit splitting of the 3d level), estimate the ionization energy of sodium (RN109,735 cm'¹).
