What is the value of n1 in Balmer theory?

Solution

Balmer theory

  • When an electron jumps from a higher stationary orbit to the second stationary orbit with n=2, spectral lines are released that are known as the Balmer series.
  • Electrons move from higher energy levels nh=3,4,5,6,7,......to the lower energy state nI=2, then Balmer series appears.

The initial state for n1 in Balmer theory is 2.
