Chapter 6, Problem 11QAP

According to the Bohr model, the radius of a circular orbit is given by the equation

$r\left(\text{in}\text{nm}\right)=0.0529{\text{n}}^2$

Draw successive orbits for the hydrogen electron at $\text{n}=1,2,3$, and 4. Indicate by arrows transitions between orbits that lead to lines in the

(a) Lyman series $\left({\text{n}}_{\text{lo}}=1\right)$.

(b) Balmer series $\left({\text{n}}_{\text{lo}}=2\right)$.
