The red line in the hydrogen spectrum corresponds to a transition from the energy level n=3 to the energy n= 2. For species other than Hydrogen which contain one electron, (e.g. He+, Li2+), equation (4) must be modified slightly to yield correct wavelengths. The modified equation is: 1 22 n² where Z is the species' atomic number. Using the transition that results in the red line in the hydrogen spectrum (n-3 to n=2), calculate the wavelength of light emitted by an electron making the same transition in Li2+.

Bohr's model of the atom is a system consisting of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. How does Bohr's model explain spectral emission lines? Bohr developed a formula (shown below) that predicted the wavelength of a photon given off when an electron moves from one orbit to another orbit. His formula worked well to explain spectral emission lines in the hydrogen atom. Calculate the wavelength of light that would be emitted for the orbital transition of n = 2 to n = 1.
