What color is the wavelength of light in the Balmer series that results from the transition of an electron to N equals 2?
There are 4 Balmer lines with wavelengths in the visible region. They are red, aqua and two shades of violet. Other Balmer lines are in the ultraviolet. The red line corresponds to the transition from n = 3 to n = 2, the subsequent ones are from the 4, 5 and 6 levels to n = 2.
What are the wavelengths of the lines in the hydrogen emission spectrum?
The four spectral lines of the Balmer series that fall in the visible range are: 656.3 nm . . . . red 486.1 nm . . . . cyan 434.1 nm . . . . blue 410.2 nm . . . . violet There are four more lines in the Balmer series ... all in the ultraviolet ... and at least thirty-six observable lines altogether from the hydrogen atom.
What causes the lines in an atomice spectrum?
wavelengths of absorbed or emitted photons
How are wavelengths of light detected?
Spectroscopy originated through the study of visible light dispersed by a prism according to its wavelength. An instrument called a spectrometer is used in spectroscopy for producing spectral lines and measuring their wavelengths and intensities.
In science what is meant by the Lyman series?
The Lyman series is scientifically defined as the series of transitioning of hydrogen atom spectral lines that are found within emission lines of ultra violet.
What are the absorption lines in the infrared portion of the spectrum of a star that are produced by hyrdrogen are from?
The absorption lines in the infrared portion of the spectrum of a star that are produced by hydrogen are from the Balmer series. The Balmer series were discovered by Johann Balmer in 1885.

What is the name of the third series in the spectrum of hydrogen?
In ascending order of the lower energy state involved in the transition, the first six families of lines in the hydrogen spectrum are: Lyman series Balmer series Paschen series Brackett series Pfund series Humphreys series
What has the author Percy Lowe written?
Percy Lowe has written: 'Structure of the Balmer series lines in the spectrum of hydrogen'
What Spectral Class does Medium-strength Balmer lines strong helium lines belong to?
a balmer line is the ghostly remnants of a poltergeist. They float around your house and murder your pet kitten.
Calculate the wavelengths of the first three lines in the Lyman series -- those for which ni 2 3 and 4?
1.21×10−7,1.03×10−7,9.72×10−8
Why don't they see hydrogen Balmer lines in the spectra of stars with temperatures of 3200 K?
These stars are so cool that nearly all of the hydrogen atoms are in the ground state. The visible-light Balmer absorption lines of hydrogen are produced by electrons moving from the 1st excited state to a higher orbit. However in M class stars most of the hydrogen is in the ground state, and absorption from the the ground state occurs at ultraviolet wavelengths.
What technology did Bohr use to discover the electron?
The only technology Bohr needed to develop his model for the atom was a spectrometer, which, in the mid-1800s, revealed the emission lines of hydrogen. In 1885, Johann Balmer developed a mathematical formula (the Balmer Series) that fully described these lines, but nobody could explain why it worked. Neils Bohr combined the quantum ideas of Max Planck and Albert Einstein with the atomic model proposed by Ernest Rutherford, and developed an atomic model from which the Balmer Series could be derived.
What was the effects of Neils Bohr's contribution to the atomic theory?
That led to know about the size of the atom and the reason of getting five different series of spectral lines in case of hydrogen such Lymann, Balmer, Pashcen, Bracket and Pfund.
Why are the hydrogen Balmer lines strong in the spectra of medium-temperature stars and weak in the spectra of hot and cool stars?
They are like this due to the fact that most hydrogen atoms are ionized which makes a weaker balmer line. The strength of the Balmer line is sensitive to temperature so that's why it occurs more in the middle. The hot end of the hydrogen is low Balmer line due to them being in the ground state.
