To find the wavelength of the H-alpha line, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the series and the principal quantum numbers The H-alpha line corresponds to the transition from the n=3 energy level to the n=2 energy level in the hydrogen atom. This is part of the Balmer series. ### Step 2: Use the Rydberg formula The Rydberg formula for the wavelength of light emitted during an electron transition in a hydrogen atom is given by: ...
