Consider photons incident on a hydrogen atom. (a) A transition from the n = 4 to the n = 7 excited-state requires the absorption of a photon of what minimum energy? eV(b) A transition from the n = 1 ground state to the n = 6 excited state requires the absorption of a photon of what minimum energy?  eV
A hydrogen atom makes a  transition from the n=8 state to the n = 4 state. What is  the wavelength of the emitted photon in micrometers?  Please give your answer with two decimal places. The lowest level energy state of hydrogen is -13.6 eV. (h = 6.626 × 10-34 J ∙ s, 1 eV = 1.60 × 10-19 J, c = 3.00 × 108 m/s)
The Balmer series for the hydrogen atom corresponds to electronic transitions that terminate in the state with quantum number n = 2 as shown in the figure below. Consider the photon of longest wavelength corresponding to a transition shown in the figure. (a) Determine its energy. eV (b) Determine its wavelength. nm Consider the spectral line of shortest wavelength corresponding to a transition shown in the figure. (c) Find its photon energy. eV (d) Find its wavelength. nm (e) What is the shortest possible wavelength in the Balmer series? (Be sure to consider all values of n, not just those indicated by the arrows in the figure.) nm
