Excited hydrogen and excited helium atoms both radiatelight as they jump down to the n=1,l=0 ,ml=0 state.Why do the two elements have very different emission spectra?
1) An electron is sitting in the -9eV energy level of the atom shown here. Which of the following photons would raise the electron up to the -2.5eV energy level? 163 nm 191 nm 248 nm 216 nm
The first five energy levels of the hydrogen atom are at n = 1, − 13.6 eV; n = 2, − 3.4 eV;n = 3, − 1.51 eV; n = 4, − 0.85 eV; n = 5, − 0.54 eV. A hydrogen discharge lamp givesan infrared spectrum that includes a sharp line at a wavelength of 4 µm, coming from electronsexcited by the discharge to a higher level, and then jump down to a lower level. Determine theenergy lost by these electrons, and identify the higher and lower levels involved.
