The wavelength of the four Balmer series lines for hydrogen are found to be 409.9, 433.9, 486.4, and 656.0 nm. What average percentage difference is found between these wavelength numbers and those predicted by (image attached)?
A hydrogen atom has energy -1.36 × 10-19 J, and the electron can be in any one of ten different quantum states. Find the spectroscopic notation for this atom.what is the principal quantum number? What is total orbital angular momentum? What is maximum z. Direction total angular momentum? What is degeneracy ?
In hydrogen’s characteristic spectra, each series (Lyman, Balmer, etc) has a “series limit”, where the wavelengths at one end of the series tend to “bunch up”, approaching a single limiting value.
part a: Does the infinite well have series limits? If not, why not? If so, is it at the short or long wavelength end?
