Brackett Series

1) Lines in the Brackett series of the hydrogen spectrum are cause by emission of energry accompanying the fall of an electron from outer shells to the fourth shell. The lines can be calculated using the Balmer-Rydberg equation. See Attachement for equation where m = 4, R = 1.097 x 10-2nm-1 , and n is an integer greater th ...continues
