(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The absorption and emission transitions in the image are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Atomic spectrum is a series of electromagnetic radiations absorbed or emitted when electrons in an atom undergo transitions between different energy levels.

Absorption spectra - When an atom is subjected to energy in the form of heat or light, the electrons absorb the energy. If an electron in a lower energy level absorbs a photon whose energy is equal to the difference in the energies of the lower energy level and a higher energy level, the electron jumps to the higher energy level. The absorption spectra are characterized by the presence of a series of dark lines separated by colored bands.

Emission spectra – In the emission spectra, an electron in the higher energy level jumps to a lower energy level by releasing energy. The emission spectra are characterized by the presence of a series of fine lines at specific wavelengths separated by black spaces.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The increasing order of energy of emissions is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Atomic spectrum is a series of electromagnetic radiations absorbed or emitted when electrons in an atom undergo transitions between different energy levels.

Emission spectra – In the emission spectra, an electron in the higher energy level jumps to a lower energy level by releasing energy. The emission spectra are characterized by the presence of a series of fine lines at specific wavelengths separated by black spaces.

The equation to find the difference in the energy between the two levels in hydrogen-like atoms is,

ΔE=2.18×1018 J(1nfinal21ninitial2)        (1)

Here,

ΔE is the difference in the energy between two levels.

nfinal is the lower energy level.

ninitial is the higher energy level.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The increasing order of the wavelengths for absorption transitions is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Atomic spectrum is a series of electromagnetic radiations absorbed or emitted when electrons in an atom undergo transitions between different energy levels.

Absorption spectra - When an atom is subjected to energy in the form of heat or light, the electrons absorb the energy.

The absorption spectra are characterized by the presence of a series of dark lines separated by colored bands.

The equation used to predict the position and wavelength of any line in a given series is called the Rydberg’s equation.

Rydberg’s equation is as follows:

1λ=R(1n121n22)        (2)

Here,

λ  is the wavelength of the line.

n1 and  n2 are positive integers, with n2>n1.

R is the Rydberg’s constant.

The conversion factor to convert wavelength from nm to m is,

1nm=1×109 m
