Question
Q) A hydrogen atom is initially in the ground
state, (i.e., n = 1 level), absorbed a photon, and as
a result of this absorption, a transition occurred
for the electron and ended at the n = 4 level.
A- What is the frequency of the
photon? *
Your answer
B- If the electron makes spontaneous
emission and comes back to the
ground state by going through all
energy levels between them. What
are the possible frequencies of the
photons emitted during this process?
