. So the l-values that lead to the wavelength of Pr. (44-32) are:
λ

4.84  10 4 m
λ  6.04  10 5 m : l   8.
6.04  10 5 m
Similarly for:
λ  6.90  10 5 m : l  7; λ  8.04  10 5 m : l  6
λ  9.64  10 5 m : l  5; λ  1.204  10 4 m : l  4.
c) The longest wavelength means the least transition energy (l  1  l  0)
