Hydrogen Spectra, Ultra Violet, Visible, and Infrared Regions

You have seen that the accepted energy level for a visible hydrogen spectrum is one with energy jumps from three different high energy levels to a common energy level. Using this model as a guide to find the visible spectra, we can explore how this is used with other regions of the Hydrogen Spectra.

Now enter this program, which shows four energy colors of Ultra Violet (UV), three energy colors for Visible light, and two colors of Infrared (IR). Ultra Violet and Infrared energy colors can not be seen by human eyes so the program will be a simulation of what is detected with other equipment.

This is a little more tricky because we have nine hydrogen colors to deal with instead of only three.
