The wavelength of the various lines in the hydrogen atomic emission spectrum can be related by a mathematical equation:
`(1)/(lambda) = R ((1)/(n^(2))-(1)/(m^(2)))`
What is the value of `n` for the Pfund series of lines?
A. `6`
B. `5`
C. `4`
D. `3`
`(1)/(lambda) = R ((1)/(n^(2))-(1)/(m^(2)))`
What is the value of `n` for the Pfund series of lines?
A. `6`
B. `5`
C. `4`
D. `3`
Correct Answer – B
Most of the lines of the Pfund series appear in the far infrared regions.
