I am having trouble with this whole thing please help if you have the time!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_formula
Use the Rydberg formula for hydrogen...
1.) Rearrange to resemble the equation of a line: y=mx+b
2.) What is y? What is m? What is x?
3.) What is the best value for n(sub f)
4.) What is R(sub H)
5.) For this series, what is the limiting wavelength (the shortest wavelength that could possibly be observed)??
6.) Use Table one below..... Complete the analysis of the deuterium emission lines (i.e. answer questions 3-5 above).
7.) Compare the value of R(sub D) with the value of R(sub H) that you found earlier. How does this ratio compare with the theoretical ratio predicted by Bohr's Theory?
Table 1:
Line number, n.) Wavelength, nm
1.) 656.1
2.) 486.0
3.) 433.9
4.) 410.0
5.) 396.9
6.) 388.8
7.) 383.4
8.) 379.7
9.) 377.0
10.) 375.0
11.) 373.4
12.) 372.1
13.) 371.0
Even if you can help with some of the question it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!!!
