4.3.3.4 Solution hydc-d
Question:
What is the color of the light emitted in a Balmer transition from an energy level with a high value of to ?
Answer:
It is like the previous question, except will be approximately zero at high values of .
Dividing by 1.054 10 J s gives the angular frequency to be 5.17 10/s, and then the wave length is 364 nm. That will be near ultraviolet. The transition from will produce blue-green light, from indigo, and from violet.
