Photons of Illght with a wavelength of 97 nm are belng directed through a chamber of hydrogen gas atoms. The gas atoms began in their ground state (n-1). Which of the following statements Is true? Hint: It might be helpful to reference the tables on pages 90-92 of the lab manual. O There will exactly 3 emission lines produced. O These photons are in the ultraviolet and quite energetic. They will produce the following electronic transitions: ni=1, nf=2; ni=1, nf-3; ni-1, nf34; ni=2, nf=3; ni=2, nf=4. O All of these photons will pass through the chamber. None of them will interact with the hydrogen. This will result in emission of photons in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Question 16
Photons of llght with a wavelength of 97 nm are belng directed through a chamber of hydrogen gas atoms.
The gas atoms began in their ground state (n-1).
Which of the following statements is true?
Hint: It might be helpful to reference the tables on pages 90-92 of the lab manual.
O There will exactly 3 emission lines produced.
O These photons are in the ultraviolet and quite energetic. They willl produce the following electronic transitions:
ni=1, nf=2; ni=1, nf=3; ni=1, nf=4; ni=2, nf=3; ni=2, nf=4.
All of these photons will pass through the chamber. None of them will interact with the hydrogen.
This will result in emission of photons in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions of the electromagnetic
spectrum.
