In analyzing the data from a spectroscopic experiment,
the inverse of each experimentally determined
wavelengths of the Balmer series is plotted versus
(1/n²) where n is the initial energy level from which
transition to n= 2 level takes place. The slope of the line
is,
A) What is the least amount of energy, in electron volts, that must be given to a hydrogen atom which is initially in its ground level so that it can emit the HαHα line in the Balmer series?
Express your answer in electronvolts to three significant figures.
B) How many different possibilities of spectral-line emissions are there for this atom when the electron starts in the n = 3 level and eventually ends up in the ground level?
The energy levels of the Bohr model for the atom can be expressed mathematically as En
-13.6 eV, where Z is the atomic number, and n is the quantum number. This model is reasonably accurate for hydrogen and for singly ionized helium.
The photon associated with the transition of an electron from the ground state to the first excited state in singly ionized helium has a different wavelength than that associated with a similar transition in hydrogen. Which of the following correctly describes the wavelengths of these two photons in terms of the energy level diagrams for hydrogen and helium?
The photon absorbed by hydrogen has a longer wavelength than that absorbed by helium, because the energy levels in the diagram for hydrogen are more closely spaced than in the diagram for helium.
B
The photon absorbed by hydrogen has a shorter wavelength than that absorbed by helium, because the energy levels in the diagram for hydrogen are more closely spaced than in the diagram for helium.

Express answer in nm to 3 significant digits. The emitted photon has a wavelength of _______ nm.arrow_forwardAI answered the problem this way. Is this correct? From the text you've provided, it seems like the problem at hand is to calculate the wavelength of a photon emitted when singly ionized helium (He+) transitions from the n=3n=3 to n=2n=2 state. Since He+ is a single-electron ion, it behaves like a hydrogen atom, so we can apply the same equations and principles. The text mentions the Balmer series, which corresponds to transitions to n=2n=2. The Balmer-alpha line, often referred to as the Hydrogen-alpha or Hα line, corresponds to the transition from n=3n=3 to n=2n=2 in hydrogen, and its wavelength is 656 nm. Since the helium ion (He+) behaves similarly to hydrogen in this context, the answer to the problem would also be 656 nm. The emitted photon has a wavelength of 656 nm.arrow_forward

- The electrons within the T-system of conjugated hydrocarbons may be treated as particles confined within a one-dimensional box. The lowest energy transition in the spectrum of a polyene hydrocarbon corresponds to excitation of an electron from the highest occupied energy level to the lowest unoccupied level.
