Question

A mercury atom emits light at many wavelengths, two of which are at (1) 404.7 nm and (2) 435.8 nm . Both of these transitions are to the same final state. Determine the energy of each emitted wavelength (in J).

 
  1. E1 = 5.908 x 10-19 J and E2 = 5.558 x10-19 J

     
  2. E1 = 7.908 x 10-19 J and E2 = 6.558 x10-19 J

     
  3. E1 = 4.628 x 10-19 J and E2 = 4.968 x10-19 J

     
  4. E1 = 4.908 x 10-19 J and E2 = 4.558 x10-19
