The emission spectrum for sodium below shows two bright lines at frequency 1(f ) and frequency 2(f ). The difference in energy between Frequency 1 and Frequency 2 can be determined with what formula using the frequencies (f and f ) and Planck’s constant (h)? answer choices are in the images attached!!

Hydrogen gas can only absorb EM radiation that has an energy corresponding to a transition in the atom, just as it can only emit these discrete energies. When a spectrum is taken of the solar corona, in which a broad range of EM wavelengths are passed through very hot hydrogen gas, the absorption spectrum shows all the features of the emission spectrum. But when such EM radiation passes through room-temperature hydrogen gas, only the Lyman series is absorbed. Explain the difference.
