1a.For the Rydberg equation for hydrogen, . RH is the Rydberg constant and is equal to 1.09737 x 107 m-1.
For the Lyman series, n=1 and the photons are in the ultraviolet. The shortest possible wavelength corresponds to the limit where . What is the photon energy (in eV) of this transition?
1b.What is the energy of the photon in the Lyman series (n=1) corresponding to m = 5? Give your answer in eV.
