Chapter 5, Problem 12CC
To determine

The photon having the highest frequency out of the two photons which are emitted from the hydrogen atom. The electron jumps from the level of n=3 to the level of n=1 and emits one photon, while the other photon is emitted by the electron during the transition from the level of n=3 to n=1.

Students have asked these similar questions
A hydrogen atom makes a transition from the n=3 level to the n=2 level. It then makes a transition from the n=2 level to the n=1 level. Which transition results in emission of the longest wavelengths photon?
What is the energy of the photon that, when absorbed by a hydrogen atom, could cause an electronic transition from the n = 2 state to the n = 5 state? Answer in units of eV. What energy could cause an electronic transition from the n = 5 state to the n = 8 state? Answer in units of eV.
What is the energy (in eV) of a photon emitted from a hydrogen atom when it transitions from an excited state with n = 8 to its ground state?
