How can elements with low atomic numbers have so many spectral lines?
The following image is an energy level diagram for a simple atom, where E1 0.00 ev, E2 = 1.34 ev, and E3 3.95 ev. %3D n=3 E3=? n=2 E,=? n=1 - Ez=? What wavelengths appear in the atom's emission spectrum? (Enter your wavelengths in the order of smallest to largest.) 3.14x10-7 m 4.75×10-7 m 9.25x10-7 m You are correct. Your receipt no. is 162-5156 ? Previous Tries What wavelengths appear in the atom's absorption spectrum? (Enter your wavelengths in the order of smallest to largest.)
In a sample that contains hydrogen, among other things, four spectral lines are found in the infrared with wavelengths 7460 nm, 4654 nm, 4103 nm, and 3741 nm. Which one does not belong to a hydrogen spectral series?
