The visible spectrum of hydrogen can be described accurately with an empirical formula found by the Swiss teacher Johann Balmer in 1885. This formula, which gives the wavelength of a spectral line as a function of an integer quantity n, describes the spectrum known as the Balmer series. By varying n, you can calculate the wavelength of all spectral lines.
Part A
Find the minimum value of n in the Balmer series for which the predicted wavelength is in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum.
