Wave Number and Wavelength in Balmer Series

1) This document contains 3 physics problems about the Balmer series of the hydrogen atom. The first problem asks to calculate the wave number, wavelength, and frequency of the second line of the Balmer series. The second problem asks to calculate the longest and shortest wavelengths of the Balmer series. The third problem asks to calculate the energy absorbed and wavelength emitted when an electron jumps from the n=1 state to the n=2 state in a hydrogen atom.
