Hydrogen Spectra
UltraViolet, Visible and InfraRed Regions

We've noticed that the accepted energy level diagram 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 we will enter a program that shows four energy colors of Ultra Violet (UV), three energy colors for Visible Light (Visible), and two colors of Infra Red (IR). We can not see the Ultra Violet and Infra Red energy with our 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.
