In physics and chemistry, the Lyman series is a hydrogen spectral series of transitions and resulting ultraviolet emission lines of the hydrogen atom as an electron goes from n ≥ 2 to n = 1 (where n is the principal quantum number), the lowest energy level of the electron (groundstate).

2023年1月30日 · The Lyman series is a series of lines in the ultraviolet region. The lines grow closer and closer together as the frequency increases. Eventually, they are so close together that it becomes impossible to see them as anything other than a continuous spectrum.

In the Bohr model, the Lyman series includes the lines emitted by transitions of the electron from an outer orbit of quantum number n > 1 to the 1st orbit of quantum number n' = 1. The series is named after its discoverer, Theodore Lyman, who discovered the spectral lines from 1906–1914.

The so-called Lyman series of lines in the emission spectrum of hydrogen corresponds to transitions from various excited states to the n = 1 orbit. Calculate the wavelength of the lowest-energy line in the Lyman series to three significant figures.

Theodore Lyman founded the series between 1906 and 1914. As a result, it is named for him. According to Bohr’s concept, the Lyman series appears when electrons shift from higher energy levels (nh = 2,3,4,5,6,…) to nl = 1 energy state.

2025年1月25日 · Lyman series is the first series of spectral series of hydrogen spectrum. It was found out in the ultraviolet (UV) region in 1898 by the American physicist Theodore Lyman . In the Lyman series, the value of n 1 is always 1, which represents the ground state of …

In physics, the Lyman series is the series of transitions and resulting emission lines of the hydrogen atom as an electron goes from n ≥ 2 to n = 1 (where n is the principal quantum number referring to the energy level of the electron).

The Lyman series is a set of spectral lines that represent the transitions of an electron in a hydrogen atom from higher energy levels down to the lowest energy level, n=1. This series is part of the hydrogen emission spectrum and occurs in the ultraviolet region of …

Studying the Lyman Series provides key insights into atomic structure and quantum mechanics by illustrating how electrons occupy discrete energy levels within an atom. These findings validate Bohr's model by demonstrating quantized energy states and their associated spectral emissions.

(The Lyman series is a related sequence of wavelengths that describe electromagnetic energy given off by energized atoms in the ultraviolet region.) Lyman α emissions are weakly absorbed by the major components of the atmosphere—O, O 2, and N 2 …
