Chapter 6.7, Problem 3.5ACP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The initial and the final electronic state for the line F of the $\text{H}$ atom in the Balmer series has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Electronic transitions that take place in excited $\text{H}$ atom is,

1. 1. Lyman series: electronic transitions take place to the $\text{n}\text{=}\text{1}$ level and it is in ultraviolet region.
2. 2. Balmer series: electronic transitions take place from $\text{n}\text{>}\text{2}$ to the $\text{n}\text{=}2$ level and it is in visible region.
3. 3. Ritz-Paschen series: electronic transitions take place from $\text{n}\text{>}3$ to the $\text{n}\text{=}3$ level and it is in infrared region.
4. 4. Brackett series: electronic transitions take place from $\text{n}\text{>}4$ to the $\text{n}\text{=}4$ level.
5. 5. Pfund series: electronic transitions take place from $\text{n}\text{>}5$ to the $\text{n}\text{=}5$ level
