Question
  1. Calculate the wavelengths of light emitted by an electron falling from the ni = 5 energy level in the hydrogen atom to the
  • nf = 3 energy level.
  • nf = 2 energy level.
  • nf = 1 energy level.

 

2. Which of the transitions in Q.1 are found in the

  • ultraviolet region?
  • visible region?
  • infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum?

 

3. For the hydrogen atom, calculate the wavelengths of light emitted by an electron falling to the

nf = 2 energy level from the

  • ni = 4 energy level.
  • ni = 3 energy level.
  • In which region of the electromagnetic spectrum are these transitions found?
