Determinig n
how do we determine the values of n for the beginning and ending energy levels of the electron, when given just the spectral line (in nm)

Re: Determinig n
Hi,
So first based on the wavelength, you can determine which series the light belongs to. For example, the UV range would be the Lyman series. After finding the series, you will know which the n final. Then, using the Rydberg equation to find out the n initial.
