·Shown here is the visible part of the spectrum of some gas. There are 11 lines. There could be 6. more, they just aren't in the wavelength range of the spectrum. The wavelength increases toward the right. :.. de f gh k (a) Which line or lines correspond(s) to the two closest spaced energy levels? Explain. (b) Which line or lines correspond(s) to the two farthest spaced energy levels? Explain. (c) What is the minimum number of energy levels in an atom of the gas that could produce the lines in this spectrum? Explain.
I am struggling with getting this question done and need some help solving it, explain and make sure the answer is 100% correct.   When a fast electron (i.e., one moving at a relativistic speed) passes by a heavy atom, it interacts with the atom's electric field. As a result, the electron's kinetic energy is reduced; the electron slows down. In the meantime, a photon of light is emitted. The kinetic energy lost by the electron equals the energy Eγ�� of a photon of radiated light: Eγ=K−K′��=�−�′, where K� and K′�′ are the kinetic energies of the electron before and after radiation, respectively. This kind of radiation is called bremsstrahlung radiation, which in German means "braking radiation" or "deceleration radiation." The highest energy of a radiated photon corresponds to the moment when the electron is completely stopped. Part A.  Given an electron beam whose electrons have kinetic energy of 4.00 keVkeV , what is the minimum wavelength λmin�min of light radiated by such beam…
