Explain the difference between the ground state and an excited state in a hydrogen atom. What is the difference between an energy absorption and an energy emission with respect to atomic spectra? Use the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom to illustrate the difference. Calculate the wavelengths of light emitted by an electron falling from the ni = 5 energy level in the hydrogen atom to the nf = 3 energy level. nf = 2 energy level. nf = 1 energy level.
