Question
Calculate the minimum wavelength of the spectral line present in Balmer series of hydrogen
Advertisements
Solution
`1/lambda = R[1/n_1^2 - 1/n_2^2]`
`1/lambda = R [1/2^2 - 1/prop^2]`
`:. 1/lambda = R/4`
`lamda = 4/R`
`lambda = 4/(10.97 xx 10^6) = 0.37 xx 10^(-6)`
`lambda = 3700Å`

In a laboratory experiment on emission from atomic hydrogen in a discharge tube, only a small number of lines are observed whereas a large number of lines are present in the hydrogen spectrum of a star. This is because in a laboratory
When a beam of white light is passed through sodium vapors and then through a spectrometer, spectrum so obtained has two dark lines present in the yellow region. This spectrum is called:
Hydrogen spectrum consists of discrete bright lines in a dark background and it is specifically known as hydrogen emission spectrum. There is one more type of hydrogen spectrum that exists where we get dark lines on the bright background, it is known as absorption spectrum. Balmer found an empirical formula by the observation of a small part of this spectrum and it is represented by
