The energy of the incoming photon, Eotal, is conserved in photoelectron spectroscopy. Therefore, the energy of the incoming photon is equal to the , plus the , so The energy of the incoming photon can also be expressed as , and the kinetic energy of the outgoing electron can be expressed as . The energy required to eject the electron corresponds to the . Substituting these expressions into the original expression for Ewtal produces the desired relationship between the speed of the ejected electron and the frequency of the incoming radiation,

Do atoms in excited states emit radiation randomly, at any wavelength? Why? What does it mean to say that the hydrogen atom has only certain discrete energy levels available? How do we know this? Why was the quantization of energy levels surprising to scientists when it was first discovered?
Chapter 3 introduced the concept of a double bond between carbon atoms, represented by C=C , with a length near 1.34 Å. The motion of an electron in such a bond can be treated crudely as motion in a one-dimensional box. Calculate the energy of an electron in each of its three lowest allowed states if it is confined to move in a one-dimensional box of length 1.34 Å. Calculate the wavelength of light necessary to excite the electron from its ground state to the first excited state.
Calculate the average distance of the electron from the nucleus in a hydrogen atom when the electron is in the 2s orbital. Repeat the calculation for an electron in the 2p orbital.
6.103 Atomic absorption spectroscopy is based on the atomic spectra of the elements being studied. It can be used to determine the impurities in a metal sample. If an element is present, light at the appropriate wavelength is absorbed. You are working with a metal stamping company and the rolled steel you use to form panels for automobile doors is failing at an alarming rate. There is some chance that the problem is unacceptably high levels of manganese in the steel. Given that the atomic spectrum of manganese has three lines near 403 nm, how could you use a spectrometer to determine the amount of manganese in the steel?

The lithium ion, Li2+, could be expected to have energy levels close to those of hydrogen atom. This is so because lithium atom has a closed n=1 shell with two electrons and then one electron outside. Also the outer electron looks inward at just one net positive charge.
