A) m = 4

We can solve the problem by using Rydberg equation:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H (\frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{m^2})$

where

$R_H = 1.097\cdot 10^7 m^{-1}$ is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen

n is the principal quantum number of the upper energy level

m is the principal quantum number of the lower energy level

For the first wavelength, we have

$\lambda=97.26 nm = 97.26\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting into the equation, we find

$\frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{m^2}=\frac{1}{\lambda R_H}=\frac{1}{(97.26\cdot 10^{-9} m)(1.097\cdot 10^7 m^{-1})}=0.9373$ )

By setting n=1, we obtain the Lyman series which goes from 121.6 nm (for m=2) to 91.18 nm (for $m=\infty$ ). So our line of 97.26 nm must be in this series.

By setting n=1, we find m:

$\frac{1}{m^2}=\frac{1}{n^2}-0.9373=\frac{1}{1^2}-0.9373=0.0627\\m=\frac{1}{\sqrt{0.0627}}=4$

B) n = 1

n can be found by thinking about the limit of the different series.

Larger n corresponds to larger wavelengths; for each n, m goes from (n+1) to $\infty$ , and the shortest wavelength of each series is the one corresponding to $m=\infty$ .

If we put n = 2, and $m=\infty$ , we find the shortest wavelength of the n=2 series:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H (\frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{m^2})=(1.097\cdot 10^7 m^{-1})(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{\infty})=\frac{1.097\cdot 10^7 m^{-1}}{4}=2.74\cdot 10^6 m^{-1}\\\lambda=\frac{1}{2.74\cdot 10^6 m^{-1}}=3.64\cdot 10^{-7} m = 364 nm$

which is longer than our line at 97.26 nm, so n must be smaller than 2, which means n=1.

C) m = 5

Similarly to what we did in part A), here we have a wavelength of

$\lambda=1282 nm = 1282\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting into the Rydberg equation, we find

$\frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{m^2}=\frac{1}{\lambda R_H}=\frac{1}{(1282\cdot 10^{-9} m)(1.097\cdot 10^7 m^{-1})}=0.0711$ )

By setting n=3, we obtain the Paschen series which goes from 1875 nm (for m=4) to 820.4 nm (for $m=\infty$ ). So our line of 1282 nm must be in this series.

By setting n=3, we find m:

$\frac{1}{m^2}=\frac{1}{n^2}-0.0711=\frac{1}{3^2}-0.0711=0.04001\\m=\frac{1}{\sqrt{0.04001}}=5$

D) n = 3

Similarly to what we did in part B), if we put n = 4, and $m=\infty$ , we find the shortest wavelength of the n=4 series:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H (\frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{m^2})=(1.097\cdot 10^7 m^{-1})(\frac{1}{4^2}-\frac{1}{\infty})=\frac{1.097\cdot 10^7 m^{-1}}{16}=6.856\cdot 10^5 m^{-1}\\\lambda=\frac{1}{6.856\cdot 10^5 m^{-1}}=1.458\cdot 10^{-6} m = 1458 nm$

which is longer than our line at 1282 nm, so n must be smaller than 4. Indeed, if we try with n=3, we find:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H (\frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{m^2})=(1.097\cdot 10^7 m^{-1})(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{\infty})=\frac{1.097\cdot 10^7 m^{-1}}{9}=1.219\cdot 10^6 m^{-1}\\\lambda=\frac{1}{1.219\cdot 10^6 m^{-1}}=8.204\cdot 10^{-7} m = 820.4 nm$

So, our line is contained in the n=3 series.

E) Ultraviolet

We can answer this question by looking at the different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. In fact, we have:

Ultraviolet: 380 nm - 1 nm

Visible: 750 nm - 380 nm

Infrared: 1 mm - 750 nm

Our wavelength here is

97.26 nm

So, we see it is included in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum. In fact, all lines in the Lyman series (n=1) lie in the ultraviolet ragion.

F) Infrared

Again, the electromagnetic spectrum is:

Ultraviolet: 380 nm - 1 nm

Visible: 750 nm - 380 nm

Infrared: 1 mm - 750 nm

Our wavelength here is

1282 nm

So, we see it is included in the infrared part of the spectrum. In fact, all lines in the Paschen series (n=3) lie in the infrared band.

well, you would divide 135 by 33 to get your answer. then that is how many seconds it would take. boardman should fly about 132 m or 4.090909090909091 seconds.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
