Hi,
Please have a look on the attachment, or for higher resolution please check this link: https://imageshack.com/a/img923/9834/vXbpvR.jpg
Could you please help me with the queries below?
Question 1: I don't understand that why transitions like "1" to "b" are not allowed or not probable.
Don't "1", "2", "3", "4", and "5" represent the same orbital angular momentum number, i.e L=2? And don't "a", "b", and "c" represent L=1? If I'm right then for transition from "1" to "b", orbital angular momentum changes from "2" to "1", and magnetic quantum number changes from "2" to "0".
Question 2: Which are those three unique transitions which produce three spectral lines? 1 to a, 2 to b, ...?
Thank you!
