1) Calculate the longest wavelengths for light in the Balmer, Lyman, and Brackett series for hydrogen.
2) Calculate the shortest wavelengths for light in the Balmer, Lyman, and Brackett series for hydrogen.
3) Use your results from parts (A) and (B) to decide in which part of the electromagnetic spectrum each of
these series lies.
a) The Balmer series is mostly in the ultraviolet. The Lyman series is in the visible and the Brackett series is in the infrared.
b) The Balmer series is mostly in the visible. The Lyman series is in the ultraviolet and the Brackett series is in the infrared.
c) The Balmer and Lyman series are in the visible and the Brackett series is in the infrared.
