In a hot star, as of the high temperature, an atom can absorb sufficient energy to remove several electrons from the atom. Consider such a multiply ionized atom with a single remaining electron. The ion produces a series of spectral lines as described by the Bohr model. The series corresponds to electronic transitions that terminate in the same final state. The shortest and longest wavelengths of the series are 22.8 nm and 63.3 nm, respectively.
(a) Determine what is the ion?
(b) Compute the wavelengths of the next three spectral lines nearest to the line of longest wavelength.
