Rydberg Equation Calculation

  • Absorption of a photon causes e- to jump up energy leve

  • Emission of a photon causes e- to fall down energy level

  • e- transfer in a huge gap means high energy photon

  • Any e- that falls to n = 1 is the Lyman Series in the UV region

  • Any e- that falls to the n = 2 is the Balmer Series in the Visible region

  • Any e- that falls to the n = 3 is the Paschen Series in the IR region
