Problem 70GP
Figure P29.72 shows a few energy levels of the mercury atom. One valence electron is always in the 6s state; the other electron changes states.
a. Make a table showing all the allowed transitions in the emission spectrum. For each transition, indicate the photon wavelength, in nm.
b. What minimum speed must an electron have to excite the 492-nm-wavelength blue emission line in the Hg spectrum?
