Light including the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet hits abunch of hydrogen atoms at nearly 0K. The light is detected afterhitting the atoms.
- Describe the detected light.
- Considering only transitions that allow the electron to remainbound, determine the longest possible wavelength absorbed.
- Considering only transitions that allow the electron to remainbound, determine the shortest possible wavelength that could beabsorbed.
- Determine if either of the photons in (b) or (c) are in thevisible range.
