Expert Solution
Step 1: Hydrogen spectrum

The absorption spectrum of the atomic hydrogen atom has been divided into a number of spectral series, with wavelengths given by the Rydberg formula. The Rydberg formula is as follows:

1 over straight lambda space equals space straight R subscript straight H space open square brackets fraction numerator 1 over denominator straight n subscript 1 superscript 2 end fraction minus fraction numerator 1 over denominator straight n subscript 2 superscript 2 end fraction close square brackets

n1 = is the principal quantum number of the lower energy level, and

n2 = is the principal quantum number of the upper energy level, and

RH = is the Rydberg constant (1.09677×107 m−1 for hydrogen)

λ = wavelength of the photon
