Consider the Various Frequencies of the Three Photons Emitted from the Following

question 126

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.
