Write an expression relating the kinetic energy KE of the electron and the potential energy PE in the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom. (a) Suppose a hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of energy E, resulting in the transfer of the electron to a higher - energy level. Express the resulting change in the potential energy of the system in terms of E. (b) What is the change in the electron’s kinetic energy during this process?
