Explanation :

When an electron jumps from one energy level to another, the energy of atom gets changed.

If a photon gets absorbed, the electron will move to higher energy levels and then fall back to the lower energy levels. Then each time a photon will be absorbed whose energy is given by difference between the initial and final energy levels i.e

In Balmer series, the transition is from higher energy levels to n = 2.

So, the necessary condition for Balmer series is that the electron should be at first excited state or n = 2 level as shown in figure.

Answer:

Speed of physicist car is 0.036c or 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s .

Explanation:

Doppler Effect is defined as the change in frequency or wavelength of the wave as the source or/and observer moving away or towards each other.

In this case, the Doppler effect equation in terms of wavelength is :

$\lambda_{s} = \lambda_{o}\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }$ ......(1)
