An atom has its electron in the energy level at - 1.2 eV. It absorbs a photon, which promotes the election to the -0.4 eV level. What is the wavelength (in meter) of this photon.
Round off the answer to 2 decimal places with scientific representation.
A) What is the approximate wavelength emitted from helium represented by the bright yellow emission line below? What is it's frequency in HZ and energy in eV? (1 eV= 1.6 x 10-19 joules).
B) If the excited helium electron that emits a yellow photon in this line starts with a potential energy of 8 eV, what is the potential energy of the electron afterwards? Assume that the emission of a yellow photon is allowed by the laws of quantum mechanics. Also don't worry about the other electron.

When a fast electron (i.e., one moving at a relativistic speed) passes by a heavy atom, it interacts with the atom's electric field. As a result, the electron's kinetic energy is reduced; the electron slows down. In the meantime, a photon of light is emitted. The kinetic energy lost by the electron equals the energy Eγ�� of a photon of radiated light: Eγ=K−K′��=�−�′, where K� and K′�′ are the kinetic energies of the electron before and after radiation, respectively. This kind of radiation is called bremsstrahlung radiation, which in German means "braking radiation" or "deceleration radiation." The highest energy of a radiated photon corresponds to the moment when the electron is completely stopped. Part A.
