A hydrogen atom emits a photon when its electron shifts from a higher energy level to a lower one. Suppose that one atom emits a photon whose wavelength equals 656 nm. If the energy levels are defined by the quantum number n (where n = 1, 2, 3,   ), what were the initial and final values of n? ni=.  ? nf=.  ?
What is the wavelength of a photon emitted when an electron in hydrogen goes from the n = 4 state to the n = 1 state?
An electron is in the n = 5 level of ionized helium. (a) Find the longest wavelength that is emitted when the electron makes a transition from the n = 5 level to a lower level. 1.01307 um (b) Find the shortest wavelength that can be emitted. 0.32057 um (c) Find the longest wavelength at which the electron in the n = 5 level will absorb a photon and move to a higher state, if we could somehow keep it in that level long enough to absorb. 0.93514 X μm (d) Find the shortest wavelength that can be absorbed. 2.176 2 μm
