In a chemical compound, parenthesis are used to distinguish the number of polyatomic ions from the number of atoms. Such as in the compound calcium nitrate, it is written as $Ca(NO_{3} ) _{2}$ . This means there are two nitrate ions for every one calcium ion.<span>

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for hydrogen atomic spectrum is as follows

energy of photon due to transition from higher orbit n₂ to n₁

$E=13.6 (\frac{1}{n_1^2 } - \frac{1}{n_2^2})eV$

For layman series n₁ = 1 and n₂ = 2 , 3 , 4 , ... etc

energy of first line

$E_1=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{2 ^2})$

10.2 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 10.2 = 1213.2 A

energy of 2 nd line

$E_2=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{3 ^2})$

= 12.08 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 12.08 = 1024.4 A

energy of third line

$E_3=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{4 ^2})$

12.75 e V

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 12.75 = 970.6 A

energy of fourth line

$E_4=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{5 ^2})$

= 13.056 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 13.05 = 948.3 A

energy of fifth line

$E_5=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{6 ^2})$

13.22 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 13.22 = 936.1 A
