What is the longest wavelength in the Balmer series? (Hint: the Rydberg constant for Hydrogen is 1.096776×107 1/m, and the Balmer series is the second series of lines in the spectrum of the Hydrogen.)

The longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

Explanation:

For the longest wavelength, the transition should be from n to n+1, where: n = lower energy level

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

Where,

= Wavelength of radiation

= Rydberg's Constant  =

= Higher energy level =

= Lower energy level = 2    (Balmer series)

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

Converting this into nanometers, we use the conversion factor:

So,

Hence, the longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

petroleum? coal maybe?

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.
