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.

Which of the following describes a spectrum apex?
A range of wavelenghs of frequencies of electromagnetic raditation
The lines at the ultraviolet end of the hydrogen spectrum are known as the lyman series wich electron transitions within an atom are responsible for these lines?
The series of lines in an emission spectrum caused by electrons falling from energy level 2 or higher (n=2 or more) back down to energy level 1 (n=1) is called the Lyman series. These emission lines are in the ultra-violet region of the spectrum.
What causes the lines in an atomice spectrum?
wavelengths of absorbed or emitted photons
Why the distances between the lines for the hydrogen spectrum decreases with the decrease in wavelength?
Just one line for hydrogen.
What is a star's emission spectrum?
The emission spectrum of a star is the spectrum of frequencies for emitted electromagnetic radiation during the transition of an atom's electrons from a high-energy state to a low-energy state. The emission spectrum can differ depending on the temperature and composition of the star.
What is the difference between absorption and emission spectrum?
Emission spectrum: lines emitted from an atom.Absorption spectrum: absorbed wavelengths of a molecule.
How does an emission spectrum of a gas in a discharge tube differ from a white light spectrum?
It differs by that white light spectrum is continuous and consists of light of all wavelengths. Emission spectrum is not continuous. It consists of bright lines at specific wavelengths, with complete darkness between them.
How does emission spectrum looks like?
it is a set of lines corresponding to photon emission wavelengths.
Which element did Bohr study the line emission spectrum of?
Niels Bohr studied the emission lines of Hydrogen.
Who developed an equation used to predict the lines in the emission spectrum of hydrogen?
Rydberg
Which of the following describes a spectrum apex?
A range of wavelenghs of frequencies of electromagnetic raditation
What wavelengths within the visible spectrum would most likely contain emission lines for barium?
Barium produces emission lines at at least 21 different wavelengths in the visible range, including at least one each in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
How can you Distinguish absorption spectrum from emission spectrum?
Emission spectra are bright-line spectra, absorption spectra are dark-line spectra. That is: an emission spectrum is a series of bright lines on a dark background. An absorption spectrum is a series of dark lines on a normal spectrum (rainbow) background.
Can you describe an astronomical spectrum?
'Astronomical spectrum' is not a specific term. I suspect you are thinking of the emission spectrum of a star, which can tell us a great deal about the composition of the star. Light and other radiations from the object are spread out into constituent wavelengths and dark lines appear across the spectrum at certain specific wavelengths which are characteristic of elements present.
Which scientists discovered a mathematical equation that allowed one to calculate the wavelengths of each of the bright lines in the hydrogen emission spectrum?
Niels Bohr had the first theoretical explanation. It was based on his very early quantum mechanics - that has now been completely scrapped.
What do Each of the colored lines in hydrogen's emission spectrum corresponds with?
transition of an electron from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
In which case will the woman see a just a spectrum that is almost entirely black except for few bright emission lines?
The spectrum that she will be observing is called an emission spectrum, in which electrons are excited to a higher energy state and then drop back down to the ground state, during which the electrons will emit photons of specific wavelengths, which will be observed as bright lines of color on what appears to be a black background.
