Balmer

Bafmer series Frequencies of certain lines in the spectrum of hydrogen are simply related to each other, and can be expressed by a general formula. One group of lines is termed the Balmer series. Other series were later discovered in the spectrum of hydrogen by Lyman, Paschen, Brackett and Pfund. [Pg.50]

Comparison with the empirical Equation (1.4) shows that = /re /S/z eg and that n" = 2 for the Balmer series. Similarly n" = 1, 3, 4, and 5 for the Lyman, Paschen, Brackett and Pfimd series, although it is important to realize that there is an infinite number of series. Many series with high n" have been observed, by techniques of radioastronomy, in the interstellar medium, where there is a large amount of atomic hydrogen. For example, the (n = 167) — ( " = 166) transition has been observed with V = 1.425 GFIz (1 = 21.04 cm). [Pg.5]

Question. Using Equations (1.11) and (1.12) calculate, to six significant figures, the wavenumbers, in cm of the first two (lowest n") members of the Balmer series of the hydrogen atom. Then convert these to wavelengths, in nm. [Pg.5]

Whereas the emission spectrum of the hydrogen atom shows only one series, the Balmer series (see Figure 1.1), in the visible region the alkali metals show at least three. The spectra can be excited in a discharge lamp containing a sample of the appropriate metal. One series was called the principal series because it could also be observed in absorption through a column of the vapour. The other two were called sharp and diffuse because of their general appearance. A part of a fourth series, called the fundamental series, can sometimes be observed. [Pg.213]

Calculate the wavelength in nanometers of the line in the Balmer series that results from the transition n = 4 to n = 2. [Pg.138]

Reality Check Compare this value with that listed in Table 6.1 for the second line in the Balmer series. [Pg.138]

All of the lines in the Balmer series (Table 6.1) come from transitions to the level n = 2 from higher levels (n = 3, 4, 5,. . . ). Similarly, lines in the Lyman series arise when electrons fall to the n = 1 level from higher levels (n = 2, 3, 4,. . . ). For the Paschen series, which lies in the infrared, the lower level is always n = 3. [Pg.138]

Historically, the visible emission lines shown in Figure 15-3 were the first atomic hydrogen lines discovered. They were found in the spectrum of the sun by W. H. Wollaston in 1802. In 1862, A. J. Angstrom announced that there must be hydrogen in the solar atmosphere. These lines were detected first because of the lesser experimental difficulties in the visible spectral region. They are called the "Balmer series because J. J. Balmer was able to formulate a simple mathematical relation among the frequencies (in It S). The ultraviolet series shown in Figure 15-3 was... [Pg.258]

The first person to identify a pattern in the lines of the visible region of the spectrum was Joseph Balmer, a Swiss schoolteacher. In 1885, he noticed that the frequencies of all the lines then known could be generated by the expression... [Pg.131]

STRATEGY The frequency is given hy Eq. 2. Convert frequency into wavelength by using Eq. 1. The wavelength should match one of the lines in the Balmer series in Fig. 1.10b. [Pg.131]

This wavelength, 657 nm, corresponds to the red line in the Balmer series of lines in the spectrum. [Pg.131]
