Getting the transition responsible
« on: February 26, 2008, 12:11:32 AM »
A line in the infrared region of the hydrogen spectrum has a wavelength of 1.093 micrometer.
what is the transition responsible for this wavelength?

I don't know which formula I should apply.
Please help me out.

Rydberg Formula.

What spectrum is this wavelength in (i.e., visible, UV, IR, etc)?
What series in the hydrogen spectrum does that range fall in (i.e. Lymann, Balmer, Paschen) ?
You now know the wavelength, and what series (and thus N1 in the equation), what is N2?
