The Balmer series for the hydrogen atom comprises electron energy transitions that end in the nf = 2 state. An illustration of energy levels shows the colors of the lines of the Balmer series. The bottom energy level in the diagram is n = 2, and an upward arrow indicates that energy increases with higher energy levels, labeled up to n = ∞, where E = 0.00 eV. The energy of n = 2 is −3.401 eV, n = 3 is −1.512 eV, n = 4 is −0.8504 eV, n = 5 is −0.5442 eV, and n = 6 is −0.378 eV. Balmer lines are produced when an electron jumps to n = 2 from any higher level. Red color is emitted during transition from n = 3, green color during transition from n = 4, blue color during transition from n = 5, and violet color during transition from n = 6. Consider the four illustrated transitions, each shown by a downward arrow in this energy-level diagram for the hydrogen atom. Because these transitions all involve a hydrogen atom losing energy, they each correspond to the emission of a photon. (a)What is…

Angular momentum and Spin. An electron in an H-atom has orbital angular momentum magnitude and z-component given by L² = 1(1+1)ħ², Lz = m₁h, 1 = 0,1,2,..., n 1 - m₁ = 0, ±1, ±2, ..., ±l 3 S² = s(s+1) h² = =h²₁ 4 Consider an excited electron (n > 1) on an H-atom. The total angular momentum ] = L + Š, whose magnitude and z-component follow a similar dependence to some quantum numbers j and m; as J² = j(j + 1)ħ², Jz = mjħ 1 S₂ = m₂h = ± = h Where j and m; are quantum numbers which assume values that jumps in steps of one such that j is non-negative and −j ≤ m¡ ≤ j. For a given quantum number 1, what are the (two) possible values for j? Clue: we can use the vector sum relation of angular momenta, then consider the z-component only.
