of length 1.00 x 10-10 m (a typical atomic diameter).

excited states. (b) How much energy must be supplied
to excite the electron from the ground state to the sec-
ond excited state? (c) From the second excited state, the
electron drops down to the first excited state. How much
energy is released in this process?
