Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The longest wavelength line of the Balmer Series for hydrogen occurs at 656.3 nm corresponding to the transition from n2 = 3 to n1 = 2. Determine the value for the Rydberg constant for hydrogen using these values.
Given the value of Rydberg constant is 107m−1, the waves number of the lest line of the Balmer series in hydrogen spectrum will be: (1) 0.025×104m−1 (2) 0.5×107m−1 (3) 0.25×107m−1 (4) 2.5×107m−1
Find the longest wavelength present in the Balmer series of hydrogen, corresponding to the Ha line.
