Interpretation:
The energy needed to remove an electron from
Concept introduction:
When an electron jumps from one energy state to another energy state, it is termed as transition of electron. Energy is either lost or absorbed during the transition of electron. The transition energy
Here,
The wavelength of a photon during a transition from one state to another can be expressed as follows:
Here,
