Consider the Balmer series discussed in the book (and Prof. Scherer's lecture notes), where the frequencies are given by: x (3.29 × 1015 s-1) n = 3,4,5, .. v = 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 n=3? 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.)
