The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula: R. E=- In this equation R, stands for the Rydberg energy, and n stands for the principal quantum number of the orbital that holds the electron. (You can find the value of the Rydberg energy using the Data button on the ALEKS toolbar.) Calculate the wavelength of the line in the emission line spectrum of hydrogen caused by the transition of the electron from an orbital with n=9 to an orbital with n=3. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

According to a relationship developed by Niels Bohr, for an atom or ion that has a single electron, the total energy, En, of an electron in a stable orbit of quantum number n is En = [Z2/n2] (2.179 1018 J) where Z is the atomic number. Calculate the ionization energy for the electron in a ground-state He+ ion.

As the weapons officer aboard the Srarship Chemistry, it is your duty to configure a photon torpedo to remove an electron from the outer hull of an enemy vessel. You know that the work function (the binding energy of the electron) of the hull of the enemy ship is 7.52 1019 J. a. What wavelength does your photon torpedo need to be to eject an electron? b. You find an extra photon torpedo with a wavelength of 259 nm and fire it at the enemy vessel. Does this photon torpedo do any damage to the ship (does it eject an electron)? c.

In the photoelectric effect, electrons are ejected from a metal surface when light strikes it. A certain minimum energy, Emin, is required to eject an electron. Any energy absorbed beyond that minimum gives kinetic energy to the electron. It is found that when light at a wavelength of 540 nm falls on a cesium surface, an electron is ejected with a kinetic energy of 2.601020J. When the wavelength is 400 nm, the kinetic energy is 1.541019J. (a) Calculate Emin for cesium in joules. (b) Calculate the longest wavelength, in nanometers, that will eject electrons from cesium.
