Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Explain how the Rydberg formula can be used to predict the wavelength of light emitted as an electron transitions between two energy levels in hydrogen.

💡 Hint: Use R_H = 1.0968 × 10^7 m^-1 and plug in your n values!

Question 2

Discuss how the presence of fine structure in the hydrogen spectrum challenges the Bohr model and what implications it has for modern quantum mechanics.

💡 Hint: Consider the spin states of electrons and their interaction during spectral emissions.
