Problem 53
Q
  1. Determine the wavelength of the second Balmer line (n = 4 to n = 2 transition) using Fig. 27–29. Determine likewise
  2. the wavelength of the second Lyman line and
  3. the wavelength of the third Balmer line.
Energy-level diagram for the hydrogen atom, showing the transitions for the spectral lines of the Lyman, Balmer, and Paschen series (Fig. 27–25). Each vertical arrow represents an atomic transition that gives rise to the photons of one spectral line (a single wavelength or frequency).
