- The Lyman series of spectral lines for the H atom, in the ultraviolet region, arises from transitions from higher levels to n = 1. Calculate the frequency and wavelength of the least energetic line in this series.arrow_forwardFor hydrogen atoms, the wave function for the state n = 3, l = 0, ml = 0 is 300=1813(1a0)3/2(2718+22)e where = r/a0 and a0 is the Bohr radius (5.29 1011 m). Calculate the position of the nodes for this wave function.arrow_forwardThe ionization energy of rubidium is 403 kJ/mol. Do x-rays with a wavelength of 85 nm have sufficient energy to ionize rubidium?arrow_forward
- (a) Use the radial wave function for the 3p orbital of a hydrogen atom (see Table 5.2) to calculate the value of r for which a node exists. (b) Find the values of r for which nodes exist for the 3s wave function of the hydrogen atom.arrow_forwardThe wavefunction of one of the d orbitals is proportional to sin2θ sin 2ϕ. At what angles does it have nodal planes?arrow_forward
