The Balmer series consists of the spectral lines from hydrogen for an electron making a transition from an excited state to the

m = 2 state. The Lyman series consists of the spectral lines from hydrogen for an electron making a transition from an excited state to the m = 1 state. Determine the wavelengths of the first four spectral lines of the Lyman series (n = 2, 3, 4, and 5)

Answer:

Wavelength of the first four spectral line:

\lambda_1=1216{\AA}

\lambda_2=1026{\AA}

\lambda_3=972.8{\AA}

\lambda_4=950{\AA}

Explanation:

Lman series when electron from higher shell number and jumps to 1st shell then all the possible lines is called as lyman series.

to calculate wavelength of first four spectral line:

For hydrogen Z=1;

by using rydberg equation

\frac{1}{\lambda} =RZ^2[\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{n_2^2} ]

1. n=2 to n=1

\frac{1}{\lambda} =RZ^2[\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{n_2^2} ]

\frac{1}{R} =912{\AA} =rydberg constant

\lambda=\frac{4}{3R}

\lambda_1=1216{\AA}

2. n=3 to n=1

\lambda=\frac{9}{8R}

\lambda_2=1026{\AA}

3. n=4 to n=1

\lambda=\frac{16}{15R}

\lambda_3=972.8{\AA}

4. n=5 to n=1

\lambda=\frac{25}{24R}

\lambda_4=950{\AA}

23492u undergoes alpha decay. what is the atomic number of the resulting element.
mash [69]
Alpha decay involves the loss of an alpha particle, aka a helium nucleus. This results in the mass number of the original element decreasing by 4 and the atomic number decreasing by 2. Assuming 23942u is uranium (92), the resulting element's atomic number is 90, making it thorium.

Foods cook faster when placed in a pressure cooker. This is because the pressure on the surface of the water is (higher than/low
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The pressure is higher than the atmospheric one, therefore the temperature is less.

Explanation:

When it is closed permanently, the pressure of the pot inside it increases, generating that the atoms and particles of the water are closer together, increasing their kinetic energy, if intermolecular friction and therefore the boiling point is lower, because the water reaches a boil or boil at a lower temperature.
