Using Balmer empirical formula, obtain the wavelengths of Hα, Hβ, H�

1.	Using Balmer empirical formula, obtain the wavelengths of Hα, Hβ, Hγ, Hδ......... H∞
Answer» Balmer empirical formula is given by 1/λ = R(1/2² - 1/n²) For H_α line, put n = 3, 1/λ_α = R (5/36) where R = 1.097 x 10⁷ m^-1 this gives λ_α = 656.3 nm. For H_β line, put n = 4, 1/λ_β = R(3/16), this gives line = 486.1 nm For H_γ line, put n = 5, then λ_γ = 434.1 nm For H_δ line put n = 6, then λγ = 434.1 nm For H_∞ line is called series limit, put n = ∞; λ_∞ = 364.6 nm

Answer»

Balmer empirical formula is given by 1/λ = R(1/2² - 1/n²)

For H_α line, put n = 3, 1/λ_α = R (5/36) where R = 1.097 x 10⁷ m^-1 this gives λ_α = 656.3 nm.

For H_β line, put n = 4, 1/λ_β = R(3/16), this gives line = 486.1 nm

For H_γ line, put n = 5, then λ_γ = 434.1 nm

For H_δ line put n = 6, then λγ = 434.1 nm

For H_∞ line is called series limit, put n = ∞; λ_∞ = 364.6 nm
