AI Generated Solution

To find the wavelength of the H_beta line of the Balmer series given that the wavelength of the H_alpha line is 6500 Å, we will use the Rydberg formula for hydrogen spectral lines. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Balmer Series**: The Balmer series corresponds to electronic transitions in hydrogen where electrons fall from higher energy levels (n ≥ 3) to n = 2. The H_alpha line corresponds to the transition from n = 3 to n = 2, while the H_beta line corresponds to the transition from n = 4 to n = 2. 2. **Identify the Rydberg Formula**: The Rydberg formula for the wavelength of emitted light during electronic transitions is given by: \[ ...
