A line is in the Paschen series of the emission spectrum of atomic hydrogen is observed at a wave number of 7800 cm^-1. Deduce the upper state principal quantum number for this transition.
for paschen series , final state is n=3
wavelength = 1/7800 cm
= 1.282*10^-4 cm
= 1282 nm
Use: Rydberg formula:
1/lambda = R*(1/nf^2 - 1/ni^2)
1/(1282*10^-9) = 1.097*10^7 * (1/3^2 - 1/ni^2)
(1/3^2 - 1/ni^2) = 0.071106
1/ni^2 = 0.0400
ni^2 = 25
ni = 5
Answer: 5

The observed lines in the emission spectrum of atomic hydrogen are given by 1 1 ū(cm-1) = Rh(cm-1) | 1 1 50 cm-1, n > nu -1 In the notation favored by spectroscopists, ✓ = 1/1 = E/hc and Rh = 109,678 cm-1. The Lyman, Balmer, and Brackett series refers to ni = 1, 2, and 4, respectively, for emission from atomic hydrogen. Part C What is the highest value of ū for the Brackett series?
