Step 1
6 * (1/n_final^2 - 1/n_initial^2). Plugging in the values, we get: E = -13.6 * (1/3^2 - 1/5^2) E = -13.6 * (1/9 - 1/25) E = -13.6 * (16/225) E = -0.967 electron volts Show more…

When a hydrogen electron makes a transition from n = 3 to n = 1, which of the following statements is/are true? Energy is emitted. Energy is absorbed. The electron loses energy. The electron gains energy. The electron cannot make this transition.

Following are four possible transitions for a hydrogen atom $$\begin{array}{ll}{\text { I. } n_{i}=2 ; n_{f}=5} & {\text { II. } n_{i}=5 ; n_{f}=3} \\ {\text { III. } n_{i}=7 ; n_{f}=4} & {\text { IV. } n_{i}=4 ; n_{f}=7}\end{array}$$ (a) Which transition will emit the shortest - wavelength photon? (b) For which transition will the atom gain the most energy? (c) For which transition(s) does the atom lose energy?
