Question
The electron in a ground-state $\mathrm{H}$ atom absorbs a photon of wavelength $97.20 \mathrm{nm}$. To what energy level does it move?
Step 1
First, we need to find the energy of the absorbed photon. We can use the formula: E = h * c / λ where E is the energy of the photon, h is Planck's constant (6.626 x 10^-34 Js), c is the speed of light (3 x 10^8 m/s), and λ is the wavelength of the photon Show more…
