hey guys l need your help in my assignment l don't understand what the question wants me to do.
.."The transition energy of atomic hydrogen are given by the Rydberg formula 1/lambda= R(1/n2 - 1/m2) where n and m are principal quantum numbers of the two levels. The highest energy series (Lyman) has n=1.
Lyman 2 occurs at 97492 cm-1 . Calculate from this value of R(Rydberg Constant) and hence the wavelength and transition energy for Balmer 1.thanks guys!
