When Balmer found his famous series from hydrogen in 1886, hewan limited experimentally to wavelengths in the visible and nearultraviolet regions from 250nm to 700nm,so all the lines in his series lie in that region.
1. On the basis of the transition on your level diagram , what common characteristicks do this lines in the Balmer series have?
2. What will be the longes possible wavelength for a line in the Balmer series? Cleary explain your reasoning or show calculation. (-----nm)
3. What will be possible wavelenght that a line in the Balmer series coulsd have? Clearly explaine your reasoning and show calculation. hint: What is the largest possible value of delta E to be associated with a line in the Balmer series? ( ---nm)
4. Fundamentally, why would any line in in the hydrogen spectrum between 250 nm and 700 nm belong to the Balmer series? Could a spectral line involving a transition to the n=1 level have a wavelenght in the range indicated?
