To determine the wavelength of the second line of the Paschen series for hydrogen, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Paschen Series The Paschen series corresponds to electronic transitions in a hydrogen atom where the electron falls to the third energy level (n=3) from higher energy levels (n=4, n=5, etc.). The second line of the Paschen series corresponds to the transition from n=5 to n=3. ### Step 2: Use the Rydberg Formula The wavelength of the emitted light during these transitions can be calculated using the Rydberg formula: ...
