Assume that the six π electrons in a benzene molecule can be treated as particle confined to a circle of constant radius. With two electrons in n = 0 level, four electrons in the n = 2 level, and r = 0.130 nm. What is the difference in energy between the third and fourth energy levels? What is the corresponding wavelength of light needed to promote an electron from n =1 to n =2?

Assume that the six π electrons in a benzene molecule can be treated as particle confined
to a circle of constant radius. With two electrons in n = 0 level, four electrons in the n = 2
level, and r = 0.130 nm. What is the difference in energy between the third and fourth energy
levels? What is the corresponding wavelength of light needed to promote an electron from n =1
to n =2?
