Consider the Balmer series discussed in the book (and Prof. Scherer's lecture notes), where the frequencies are given by: [1 V = [4 x (3.29 x 1015 s-1) n = 3,4,5, ... | n2 Let us focus only on the spectral lines and transitions corresponding to the Balmer series. a) Suppose the Balmer series of hydrogen is studied using a Franck-Hertz experiment. What is the threshold voltage required for n3D3? How about n=4? b) The Lyman Series frequencies are given by v = 1-x (3.29 x 1015 s-1). Describe what is different about these two series of emission frequencies of photons from the hydrogen atom? That is, what distinguishes one series from the other? (Hint: it may help to think about the Bohr model interpretation of transitions.)

Question
Consider the Balmer series discussed in the book (and Prof. Scherer's lecture notes), where the frequencies are given by: r1 V = [4 1 x (3.29 x 1015 s-1) n = 3,4,5, ... Let us focus only on the spectral lines and transitions corresponding to the Balmer series. a) Suppose the Balmer series of hydrogen is studied using a Franck-Hertz experiment. What is the threshold voltage required for n3? How about n=4? b) The Lyman Series frequencies are given by v = 1-x (3.29 x 1015 s-1). Describe what is different about these two series of emission frequencies of photons from the hydrogen atom? That is, what distinguishes one series from the other? (Hint: it may help to think about the Bohr model interpretation of transitions.)
