Chapter 6, Problem 41E
The visible emission lines observed by Balmer all involved nf = 2.
a. Which of the following is the best explanation of why the lines with of nf = 3 are not observed in the visible portion of the spectrum
- Transitions to of = 3 are not allowed to happen,
- transitions to nr = 3 emit photons in the infrared portion of the spectrum, hi. transitions to of = 3 emit photons in the ultraviolet portion of the spectrum, or it transitions to nf = 3 emit photons that are at exactly the same wavelengths as those to nf= 2.
b. calculate the wavelengths of the first three lines in the Balmer series- those for which n1=3,4and5-and identify these lines in the emission spectrum shown in Figure 6.11.
