question 84

Multiple Choice

Consider the various frequencies of the three photons emitted from the following three individual electron transitions in the figure below: n=3 to n=2; n=2 to n=1; n=3 to n=1.These transitions would produce three spectral lines in a spectroscope.If the energy spacing between the levels were equal,would this affect the number of spectral lines?

• A)Yes,two otherwise separate lines would converge into a single more intense line.
• B)No,but the spacing between the spectral lines would change.
• C)Yes,two otherwise separate lines would converge into a single less intense line.
• D)No,but some would then require a prism in order to be seen.
