A hydrogen vapour lamp emits four lines in the visible light range (the Balmer series). These correspond to transitions from nu = 3, 4 ,5 and 6 to nl= 2.Each of the lines correspond to a different colour as listed below. For the transition from nu = 3, what colour is the photon of light produced?

The spectrum from a hydrogen vapour lamp is measured and four lines in the visible light range are observed. These lines are the so-called Balmer series, where an electron makes a transition from a higher level to the second energy level (nl= 2).From the measurements of the wavelengths of these four lines, four determinations of the Rydberg constant R were made. These are:For nu= 3, R = 9.96 µm-1For nu= 4, R = 9.65 µm-1For nu= 5, R = 9.72 µm-1For nu= 6, R = 11.9 µm-1An average value of R can be found. Calculate the uncertainty in this average R (use the mean error technique).Express you answer in µm-1 to two decimal places.
