Correction in image answer: Unique lines = 5
When the electron jumps from level of energy E1 to level of energy E2, photon of energy E1-E2 is emitted.
All possible photon emissions with above energy levels: (-2 - -5),(-2 - -12),(-2 - -22),(-5 - -12),(-5 - -22), (-12 - -22) or 3,10,20,7,17 and 10 again.
Unique lines in emission spectrum = 3,7,10,17,20 ie 5

The electron in a hydrogen atom falls from an excited energy level to the ground state in two steps, causing the emission of photons with wavelengths of 1870 and 102.5 nm. What is the quantum number of the initial excited energy level from which the electron falls?
4. When a hydrogen atom is bombarded, the atom may be raised into a higher energy state. As the excited electron falls back to the lower energy levels, light is emitted. What are the three longest-wavelength spectral lines emitted by the hydrogen atom as it returns to the n = 1 state from higher energy states? Give your answers to three significant figures. The lowest possible state, n = 1, corresponds to the electron in its smallest possible orbit; it...
When an electron of an excited hydrogen atom descends, from an initial energy level (ni) to a lower (nf), characteristic electromagnetic radiation is emitted. The Bohr model of the H-atom allows the calculation of ?E for any pair of energy levels. ?E is related to the wavelength (?) of the radiation according to Einstein's equation ( ?E = [(hc)/?]). Distinct series of spectral lines have been classified according to nf: Lyman series:nf=1 (91<?<123 nm; near-UV). Balmer series:nf=2 (365<?<658 nm; visible)....
