hydrogen ground state (1 Viewer)

[mazza_728]

ok i always thought it was n=2 i dont know why i just did?? but now people are saying its n=1... hah??

 

[Jase]

i'm pretty sure its n=1

 

[gordo]

its n = 2
never use n = 1

 

[Xayma]

I think it is n=1, but the visible spectrum is from the above energy levels to n=2.

 

[JayWalker]

The Ground state of Hydrogen is n = 1, but Xayman is correct, the visible sprectrum starts at n = 2

 

[gordo]

yeh but we only do visable spectrum in relation to balmer and bohr
so never use n=1 in an hsc physics quanta to quarks, i don't think u will ever need to

 

[JayWalker]

Oh yeah, forgot about that,, nice 1 gordo!

 

[Jase]

Well.. the Lyman series go to n=1.. aren't they visible emissions?

but technically n=1 IS the ground state, being the lowest level in the hydrogen atom. ( Barring degeneracy)

 

[BillyMak]

Lyman series aren't visible, they are Ultra-Violet..

 

[Jase]

Thanks.

must.resist.bad.pun.

I see now (or rather DON'T see WdsgHAadudasckm).

 

[senso]

can someone please explain the balmers series stuff to me
