From the energy-level diagram for hydrogen, explain the observation that the frequency of the second Lyman-series line is the sum of the frequencies of the first Lyman-series line and the first Balmer-series line.This is an example of the empirically discovered Ritz combination principle. Use the diagram to find some other valid combinations.
Consider the atomic spectra for the H-atom: the Lyman series emits UV photons, the Balmer series emits visible photons, the Paschen series emits IR photons, and the Brackett series emits far IR photons. What type of photons would you expect from the next series? Briefly explain.
1) The Lyman series of lines in the emission spectrum of hydrogen corresponds to transitions from various excited states to the n1 = 1 orbit. Calculate the wavelength (in nm) of the energy line (n = 11) in the Lyman series to five significant figures. (RH = 109677.57 cm-1). Think about where this is in the spectrum.
2) What is the wavelength, (in angstroms, A) of an electron (m = 9.11 X 10-31 kg) moving at 7.80 X 105 m/sec. (h= 6.626 X 10-34 Js)

- The following diagram shows the complete set of orbitals of a hypothetical atom. The yellow circle represents the nucleus. Point D represents a location beyond the orbitals of this particular atom. Which of the following statements about an electron transitioning among the labeled points is TRUE? с D An electron transitioning from orbital A to orbital B will emit or absorb light with a longer wavelength than an electron transitioning from orbital B to orbital A. O The energy difference between orbitals B and C is bigger than that between orbitals A and B.
