Chapter 30 Problem 24

Question

The wavelength of the four Balmer series lines for hydrogen are found to be \(410.3\), \(434.2\), \(486.3\), and \(656.5 \ nm\). What average percentage difference is found between these wavelength numbers and those predicted by \(\frac{1}{\lambda}=R\left(\frac{1}{n_{\mathrm{f}}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}}\right)\)? It is amazing how well a simple formula (disconnected originally from theory) could duplicate this phenomenon.
