Light including the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet hits a
bunch of hydrogen atoms at nearly 0K. The light is detected after
hitting the atoms.
- Describe the detected light.
- Considering only transitions that allow the electron to remain
bound, determine the longest possible wavelength absorbed.
- Considering only transitions that allow the electron to remain
bound, determine the shortest possible wavelength that could be
absorbed.
- Determine if either of the photons in (b) or (c) are in the
visible range.
