Experiment 5 Flashcards
1
Q
Johann Balmer (1885)
A
Showed that the visible spectral lines in the hydrogen spectrum could be fitted to a simple mathematical relationship. 1/λ = (constant) x (1/n^2 - 1/2^2)
2
Q
Balmer Series
A
Visible light region.
3
Q
Lyman Series
A
Ultraviolet region.
4
Q
Paschen Series
A
Infrared region.
5
Q
Rydberg (1890)
A
Suggested a general equation that all three series of lines fit. ˜ν = 1/λ = -RH x (1/nh^2 - 1/nl^2)
6
Q
% Error
A
(Measured Value - True Value)/True Value x 100%
