Part A)How much energy does the electron have initially in the n=4 excited state? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Part B) In the Balmer-Rydberg equation, what value of m is used to determine the wavelengths of the Balmer series?

Part C) If our eyes could see a slightly wider region of the electromagnetic spectrum, we would see a fifth line in the Balmer series emission spectrum. Calculate the wavelengthλ associated with the fifth line.

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

The energy of an electron in the level "n" is:

So:

The Balmer - Rydberg equation is:

Where: m=4. So: the Balmer-Rydberg equation is:

The equation for the Balmer series is:

So, for n=3,4,5 .....

All of these wavelenghts belongs to the visible region.
