Each series fits the Rydberg equation with its own particular $n_1$ value. Calculate the value of $n_1$ that would produce a series of lines in which the highest energy line has a wavelength of 1459 nm. $n_1 = $

Step 1

The highest-energy line of a series is the series limit, corresponding to n2 → ∞, so 1/λ_limit = R_H / n1^2. Show more…
