The absorption spectrum of the hydrogen atom shows lines at
6132, 10518, 13443, 14387, and 15801 cm$^{-1}$. There are no
lower-frequency lines in the spectrum.
Part A
Use the graphical methods to determine $n_{initial}$. Assume values for $n_{initial}$ of 1, 2, and 3.
Express your answer as an integer.
$n_{initial}$ =
Part B
Determine the ionization energy of the hydrogen atom in this state.
Express your answer in joules to three significant figures.
$E_{ion}$ = J
