Chapter 13: Problem 17
When \(n>6\), the Balmer series features violet light emissions at wavelengths outside the range of the visible spectrum. Which of the following BEST accounts for this finding? A. Energy levels are narrower as \(n \rightarrow 1\) and wider as \(n \rightarrow 8\). B. Energy levels are wider as \(n \rightarrow 1\) and narrower as \(n \rightarrow 8\). C. Energy differences between levels are larger as \(n \rightarrow 1\) and smaller as \(n \rightarrow 8\). D. Energy differences between levels are smaller as \(n \rightarrow 1\) and larger as \(n \rightarrow 8\).
