I could use some assistance! - thanks
Question:
Atoms can be ionized by thermal collisions at very high temperatures. One such ion is Ne9+, a neon atom with only a single electron.
(a) By what factor are the energies of its hydrogen-like levels greater than those of hydrogen?
(b) What is the wavelength of the first line in this ion's Balmer series?
(I'm aware of this equation, I'm just not sure how to apply it to this question.)
