(a) The Lyman series in hydrogen is the transition from energy levels n = 2, 3, 4, ... to the ground state n = 1. The energy levels are given by 13.60 eV En n- (i) What is the second longest wavelength in nm of the Lyman series? (ii) What is the series limit of the Lyman series? [1 eV = 1.602 x 1019 J, h = 6.626 × 10-34 J.s, c = 3 × 10° m.s] %3D Two emission lines have wavelengts A and + A2, respectively, where AA <<2. Show that the angular separation A0 in a grating spectrometer is given aproximately by (b) A0 = V(d/m)-2 where d is the grating constant and m is the order at which the lines are observed.
(II) Is the use of nonrelativistic formulas justified in the Bohr atom? To check, calculate the electron's velocity, v, in terms of c, for the ground state of hydrogen, and then calculate V1 - v²/c².
(b) A photon is emitted by a doubly ionised lithium atom (Li²+) when an electron makes a transition to the ground state. The wavelength of the photon is measured to be 10.83 nanometres. Determine the principal quantum number and the energy of the initial state The atomic number of lithium is Z = 3.
