1) Using equation 1 (1/wavelength = R(1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2), calculate n2 for these three lines:
402.6nm, n2 =
447.1nm, n2 =
587.5 nm, n2=

2) Draw a diagram depicting the electron transitions that occurred to produce these emissions.

3) Explain why your results (2) indicate that the electron behavior of atoms of elements with more than one electron is not well described by equation 1, if Bohr's picture of the atom is correct.
