Lyman and Balmer Series
Would the Lyman (UV) and Balmer (Visible) series be the only 2 series we'd have to know for this course? Do we have to also know the Infrared series which would be electrons going from a high energy level down to the n=3 energy level? If so, is there a particular name for the infrared series?

Re: Lyman and Balmer Series
I don't think that we'll need to know the Infrared series. I think that the Lyman and Balmer series are the only ones we need for this course.
The Infrared series is called the Paschen series but Lavelle didn't go through the Infrared series and neither did the textbook.

Re: Lyman and Balmer Series
Hi! Lyman and Balmer series are the only ones that have been emphasized in this course so far, and I haven't seen any problems that would require you to know the other series. So I believe knowing these two should be enough.
However, if you want to know the third series as well, and it's called Paschen series (lower energy level is n=3). Hope this helps :)

Re: Lyman and Balmer Series
I believe it is just the Lyman and Balmer Series that we need to know for the midterm, as those are the main ones we use in the homework and textbook practice problems.

Re: Lyman and Balmer Series
I think you only have to know the Lyman and Balmer series but you should also know in general what the hydrogen spectral series are.
