Title: What is n initial for line A and what is its wavelength? Post by: oblique101 on Nov 18, 2014 One electron ion produces an emission spectrum by making various transitions to the n=3 state. If the wavelength of B is 142.5 nm :
what is the value of initial n that produces line B? What is n initial for line A and what is its wavelength? I couldn't find a picture for the spectrum but it is supposed to be like this: A B | | | | | | | | | | ----------wavelength------> (A line is the 8th from the left) My solutions manual says n for A equals to 6 and n for B equals to 5, but I keep getting 1 for line B! HELP! I tried the Rydberg equation so many times but I keep getting errors..... :theblues: |
