Show that of hydrogen鈥檚 spectral series鈥擫yman, Balmer, Paschen, and so on鈥攐nly the four Balmer lines of Section 3 are in visible range (400-700nm)

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is shown that only the first four lines of the Balmer series are in the visible range, that is between 400-700nm.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The frequency range of the visible spectrum is 400-700nm.

02

Wavelength of Hydrogen lines

The wavelength of emission when electron jumps from orbit n1 to n2orbit is

role="math" localid="1659966880476" =R-1(1n12-1n22)-1.....(I)

Here R is the Rydberg constant of value

R=1.097107m-1

03

Determining the wavelength of Hydrogen lines in the visible range

For Lyman series n1=1. The maximum wavelength obtained from Lyman series is when n2=2the value of which from equation (I) is

=1.097107m- 1-1112-122-1=121.5nm

This is less than the visible range. So Lyman series is not in the visible range.

For Paschen series n1=3. The minimum wavelength obtained from Paschen series is when n2=the value of which from equation (I) is

=1.097107m- 1-1132-1-1=820.4nm

This is greater than the visible range. So Paschen series is not in the visible range. Thus only the Balmer series can be in the visible range.

For Balmer series n1=2. The wavelength of the first line obtained from the Balmer series is when n2=3the value of which from equation (I) is

=1.097107m- 1-1122-132-1=656.3nm

The wavelength of the second line obtained from the Balmer series is when n2=4the value of which from equation (I) is

=1.097107m- 1-1122-142-1=486.2nm

The wavelength of the third line obtained from the Balmer series is when n2=5 the value of which from equation (I) is

=1.097107m- 1-1122-152-1=434.1nm

The wavelength of the fourth line obtained from the Balmer series is when n2=6the value of which from equation (I) is

=1.097107m- 1-1122-162-1=410.2nm

The wavelength of the fifth line obtained from the Balmer series is when n2=7the value of which from equation (I) is

=1.097107m- 1-1122-172-1=397nm

Thus only the first four lines are in the visible range

Some degeneracies are easy to understand on the basis of symmetry in the physical situation. Others are surprising, or 鈥渁ccidental鈥. In the states given in Table 7.1, which degeneracies, if any, would you call accidental and why?

If the constantCxinequation(7-5)were positive, the general mathematical solution would be

Ae+cxx+Be-cxx

Show that this function cannot be 0 at two points. This makes it an unacceptable solution for the infinite well, since it cannot be continuous with the wave functions outside the walls, which are 0.

When applying quantum mechanics, we often concentrate on states that qualify as 鈥渙rthonormal鈥, The main point is this. If we evaluate a probability integral over all space of 1*1or of 2*2, we get 1 (unsurprisingly), but if we evaluate such an integral for1*2or2*1 we get 0. This happens to be true for all systems where we have tabulated or actually derived sets of wave functions (e.g., the particle in a box, the harmonic oscillator, and the hydrogen atom). By integrating overall space, show that expression (7-44) is not normalized unless a factor of 1/2is included with the probability.

Which electron transitions in singly ionized helium yield photon in the 450 - 500 nm(blue) portion of the visible range, and what are their wavelengths?
