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 is Schrodinger's equation?

The Schrödinger wave equation shows the interactions between particles and potential fields (i.e., electrons within atoms) by describing the behavior of such a system. Elaborating a little more, a particle is described by what is called a wavefunction. This wavefunction has a space (x,y,z) and time (t) dependency and is continuous, finite and single valued. Therefore the Schrödinger wave partial differential equation shows how the wavefunction of a system behaves over time.
