If, in 1 1 = Ry - you set ni = 1 and take n2 greater than 1, you generate what is known as the Lyman %3D series. Find the wavelength of the first mem- ber of this series. The value of ħ is 1.05457 × 10¬34 J.s; the Rydberg constant for hydrogen is 1.09735 × 10’ m¬'; the Bohr radius is 5.29177 × 10¬1" m; and the ground state energy for hydrogen is 13.6057 eV. Answer in units of nm. Consider the next three members of this se- ries. The wavelengths of successive members of the Lyman series approach a common limit as n2 → ∞. What is this limit? Answer in units of nm.
Estimate the energy of the characteristic x-ray emitted from a tungsten target when an electron drops from an M shell (n = 3 state) to a vacancy in the K shell (n = 1 state). The atomic number for tungsten is Z = 74.
Hydrogen gas can be placed inside a strong magnetic field B=12T. The energy of 1s electron in hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV ( 1eV= 1.6*10 J ). a) What is a wavelength of radiation corresponding to a transition between 2p and 1s levels when magnetic field is zero? b) What is a magnetic moment of the atom with its electron initially in s state and in p state? c) What is the wavelength change for the transition from p- to s- if magnetic field is turned on?
