Lines in one spectral series can overlap lines in another. (a) Use the Rydberg equation

Chapter 7, Problem 7.83

(choose chapter or problem)

Lines in one spectral series can overlap lines in another. (a) Use the Rydberg equation to see if the range of wavelengths in the n1 _ 1 series overlaps the range in the n1 _ 2 series. (b) Use the Rydberg equation to see if the range of wavelengths in the n1 _ 3 series overlaps the range in the n1 _ 4 series. (c) How many lines in the n1 _ 4 series lie in the range of the n1 _ 5 series? (d) What does this overlap imply about the hydrogen spectrum at longer wavelengths?
