    Problem Set 4: Electronic spectroscopy

    1. Calculate the first three lines in the absorption spectrum arising from transitions
    from the 3s level of the hydrogen atom. What is the ionization energy?

    2. The term symbols for particular states of three different atoms are quoted at 4S1,
    2
    D7/2 and 0P1; Explain why these are erroneous.

    3. What are the electron configurations for the ground state and first excited state of
    the Tl+ ion? List the terms which arise from these configurations, including spin-
    orbit coupling. Place the levels in order of increasing energy. The observed
    energies of the lowest four levels are:
    (a) zero (by convention); (b) 49451 cm-1 (c) 52393 cm-1
    -1
    (d) 61725 cm .
    According to Russell-Saunders coupling scheme, the energy separation between
    adjacent spin-orbit coupling levels from a given term should be “l” times larger
    values of J (e.g 3l between levels with J=2 and J=3), where l is the spin-orbit
    coupling constant. On this basis, what would you expect the relative sizes of the
    energy gaps (b) – (c) and (c) – (d) to be, why?

    4. The vanadium atom has the ground state electronic configuration [Ar]3d34s2.
    Given that a d3 configuration, has the term states 2P, 4P, 2D, 2F, 4F, 2G and 2H
    terms, determine the L, S and J values for the ground state of the V atom.

    5. The Na atom has a strong line corresponding to a transition between the 2S and 2P
    states. This line has been observed to be a doublet. Explain why this line occurs
    as a doublet.

    6. A spectral line corresponding to a 2P→2D transition is observed in low resolution.


    Into how many components will this line be split, if the same transition is
    observed in high resolution. Why?

    7. Draw the energy level diagram for He (including both singlet and triplet states)
    and show the transitions that are allowed.
