(i) Emission spectrum of Hydrogen atom: Lyman and Balmer series

  • Lyman Series: When electrons will jump from a higher energy orbit to n = 1 orbit.
  • Balmer Series: When electrons will jump from a higher energy orbit yo n = 2 orbits.

(ii) Longest wavelength of Lyman series:

`1/λ_"L" = "R"_"H"[1/1^2 - 1/2^2] = "R"_"H" [3/4]`

Shortest wavelength of Balmer series:

`1/λ_"B" = "R"_"H"[1/2^2 - 1/(∞^2)] = "R"_"H" [1/4]`

`1/λ_"L" = 3/4`, so `λ_"L" = 4/3` and
`1/λ_"B" = 1/4`, so `λ_"B" = 4/1`

Now,

`λ_"L"/λ_"B" = [4/3]/[4/1] = 1/3`

Find out the wavelength of the electron orbiting in the ground state of hydrogen atom.


The ground state energy of hydrogen atom is −13.6 eV. If and electron make a transition from the energy level −0.85 eV to −3.4 eV, calculate spectrum does his wavelength belong?


Name the series in the atomic spectra of the hydrogen atom that falls in the ultra violet region. 


Hydrogen spectrum consists of discrete bright lines in a dark background and it is specifically known as hydrogen emission spectrum. There is one more type of hydrogen spectrum that exists where we get dark lines on the bright background, it is known as the absorption spectrum. Balmer found an empirical formula by the observation of a small part of this spectrum and it is represented by

`1/lambda = "R"(1/2^2 - 1/"n"^2)`, where n = 3, 4, 5,....

For Lyman series, the emission is from first state to nth state, for Paschen series, it is from third state to nth state, for Brackett series, it is from fourth state to nth state and for P fund series, it is from fifth state to nth state.

Which series of hydrogen spectrum corresponds to ultraviolet region?
