• What wavelength of radiation would excite the hydrogen atom from the ground state (E1) to the third energy level?
E1 = -13.6 eV/1 = -13.6 eV E2 = -13.6/9 = -1.5 Ev
hc/ = 12.1 eV = 1243 eV-nm / 12.1 eV = 100 nm
What possible wavelengths of light could What possible wavelengths of light could be emitted when a hydrogen atom “de-be emitted when a hydrogen atom “de-excites” from the 4excites” from the 4thth energy level? energy level?
-0.82 eV-0.82 eV-1.51 eV-1.51 eV-3.4 eV-3.4 eV-13.6 eV-13.6 eV
