Problem
A photon of wavelength 95.0nm is emitted by a hydrogen atom in the course of an electronic transition.
(i) Calculate the wavenumber (νˉ) and energy of the emitted photon.
(ii) Identify the spectral series to which this line belongs and hence state the value of the principal quantum number of the final state.
(iii) Determine the principal quantum number of the initial state responsible for this emission.
