Use AE and the idea that energy levels are discrete (quantized) in order to answer the following questions: 2a) Considering an infinite number of energy levels in an atom, calculate the shortest possible wavelength for a line in the Balmer Series. HINT: Does the shortest possible wavelength correspond to the smallest or largest AE value possible? What transition is required? 2b) Why can't shorter wavelengths than this one be possible in the Balmer Series? Think about the energy levels in an atom. 3a) Considering an infinite number of energy levels in an atom, calculate the longest possible wavelength for a line in the Balmer Series. HINT: Does the longest possible wavelength correspond to the smallest or largest AE? What transition is required? 3b) Why can't longer wavelengths than this one be possible in the Balmer Series? (The answer is not "because it is outside the visible and near-ultraviolet ranges". Think about the energy levels in an atom. Look at Table 2 and the energy diagram.)
