Photoelectron spectroscopy applies the principle of the photoelectric effect to study orbital energies of atoms and molecules. High-energy radiation (usually UV or X-ray) is absorbed by a sample and an electron is ejected. The orbital energy can be calculated from the known energy of the radiation and the measured energy of the electron lost.

Question

Photoelectron spectroscopy applies the principle of the photoelectric effect to study orbital energies of atoms and molecules. High-energy radiation (usually UV or X-ray) is absorbed by a sample and an electron is ejected. The orbital energy can be calculated from the known energy of the radiation and the measured energy of the electron lost. The following energy differences were determined for several electron transitions:

ΔE1 = 4.098 ×10−17 J
ΔE1 = 4.854 × 10−17 J
ΔE 1 = 5.242 ×10−17
ΔE 2 = 1.024 ×10−17 J
 
Calculate the energy change and the wavelength of a photon emitted in the following transitions. Enter your answers in scientific notation. Use 6.626 ×10−34 J·s for Planck's constant.
 
(a) Level 3 to 2:
 ______J

(b) Level 4 to 1:
 _____J
_____ m
 
(c) Level 5 to 4:
 _____J

_____m
