Energy Levels in Atoms and Line Spectra
 

Energy Levels in Atoms and Line Spectra problem 16


Four electron energy levels in an atom are shown in the figure below.


(not to scale)



An emission spectrum is associated with the electron transitions between these energy levels. For this spectrum,


  • state the number of lines,


  • calculate the minimum wavelength.
