The hydrogen emission spectrum has four series (or sets) of lines named Balmer, Brackett, Paschen, and Lyman. Indicate the energy (infrared, ultraviolet, or visible), the nf value for each series, and all possible ni values up to 7. ( Separate the values with commas from lowest to highest. The display will look odd with preceding commas, but that is normal.
You want a report written. Someone here will be glad to critique what you write.
To determine the energy (infrared, ultraviolet, or visible), the nf value, and all possible ni values for each series of the hydrogen emission spectrum, we need to analyze the characteristics of each series individually.
1. Balmer series:
- Energy: Visible
- nf value: 2
- All possible ni values up to 7: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
2. Brackett series:
- Energy: Infrared
- nf value: 4
- All possible ni values up to 7: 5, 6, 7
3. Paschen series:
- Energy: Infrared
- nf value: 3
- All possible ni values up to 7: 4, 5, 6, 7
4. Lyman series:
- Energy: Ultraviolet
- nf value: 1
- All possible ni values up to 7: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Here is the breakdown of the energy, nf value, and all possible ni values for each series:
- Balmer series: Visible, nf = 2, ni = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
- Brackett series: Infrared, nf = 4, ni = 5, 6, 7
- Paschen series: Infrared, nf = 3, ni = 4, 5, 6, 7
- Lyman series: Ultraviolet, nf = 1, ni = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
