Hi there.
00:01
So for this problem, we are asked about what is the energy of the photon that when observed by the hydrogen atom could cause the following.
00:09
So for part a of this problem, we are asked about an electronic transition from the state n equals.
00:17
So this is the initial state, n equals to one, to the final state that is equal to n equals to five state.
00:26
Now, to solve this problem, we use the following equation.
00:31
So we know that the change in the energy for a transition is equal to minus 13 .6 electron balls, which is the energy for the ground state, energy for the hydrogen atom, and this times 1 divided by the final state square minus 1 divided by the initial state square.
00:55
So with that said, we just simply substitute those values into this expression.
01:02
So that will be minus 13 .6 electron balls, this times 1 divided by the final state.
01:12
So that will be 5 to the square minus 1 divided by 1 to the square...
