The red line observed in the line spectrum for hydrogen has 3.03x10^-19 J. What is the wavelength, in nm, of this?

The emission spectrum of hydrogen revealed several strong lines with spectroscopic observation. One of the red lines occurred at 656.2 nm and one of the purple lines occurred at 410.1 nm. Determine the energy of a photon of each of these wavelengths. Which photon possesses more energy, the red or the purple??

1. Find the theoretical wavelength in nm for each of hydrogen's visible lines (red, blue, violet). 2. Explain why the spectral lines (wavelengths) associated with the energy released when the electron returns to the n = 1 level were not measured using any method. 3. For hydrogen, discuss what present quantum theory predicts for the position of the 1s electron?

00:01 Given with the wavelength of a photon of light, we can use the following equation to solve for the corresponding energy.
00:09 So you have e equals h c over lambda, where e is the energy of the photon expressed in the unit of joules.
00:17 H is the planks constant, c is the speed of light, and lambda is the wavelength that is expressed in the unit of meters.
00:25 So here we're given with a photon that contains energy or that has an energy that is equal to 3 .03 times 10 to the negative 19 joules.
00:44 And we want to find the corresponding wavelength of this button and express it in the unit of nanometers nm.
00:54 So let us rearrange the equation that we have a above to solve for the lambda.
01:02 So, so doing that gives us lambda equals hc over e, over e.
01:09 Where again, h is a planks constant, which value is 6 .626 times 10 to the negative 34.
01:16 C is the speed of light, which is equal to 3 times 10 to the power of 8...
