Homework Statement



Everybody knows Hydrogen has one electron which resides in K orbit.While explaining Hydrogen bonding we talk about higher orbits while explaining Lyman Balmer,Pashen,Buffet & Brackett series of Hydrogen spectrum.If only one electron resides in first orbit,then how it'll transfer to higher orbits which doe'nt exist in case of Hydrogen?

Why do you think excited levels don't exist in hydrogen?
 

Thread 'Modeling a graph that shows age in relation to depth of an ice sample'

To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
