What is the shortest wavelength present in the Paschen series of spectral lines?

Find the shortest wavelength in Paschen series, if the longest wavelength in Balmer series is .


Draw a neat labelled energy level diagram and explain the different series of spectral lines for hydrogen atom.

First line of Balmer series has wavelength . Find out Rydberg constant and wave number.

Doubly ionised Lithium atom is hydrogen like whose atomic number is then-
(i) find out the wavelength of radiation required to excite an electron from first orbit to third orbit.
(ii) how many lines will be observed in emission spectrum of the excited system?

In a sample of hydrogen gas most of the atom are in energy level. When visible light passes through it some spectral lines are absorbed. Lines of which series (Lyman or Balmer) are most absorbed and why?

For Lyman series of hydrogen the minimum and maximum wavelengths are
