To Find: The emitted wavelengths and the lines to which it corresponds.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Transition between energy levels in the hydrogen atom:
Formula Used:
Here, R is the Rydberg’s constant.
Calculations:
Wavelength of emitted light when hydrogen atom makes a transition from
This corresponds to lowest transition energy (red line).
Wavelength of emitted light when hydrogen atom makes a transition from
This corresponds to second transition energy (green line).
