a. A hydrogen atom in the n=5 state decays to the n=3 state.What is the wavelength of the photon that the hydrogen atom emits?Use hc=1240 nm eV.
nm
b. While in the first excited state, a hydrogen atom isilluminated by various wavelengths of light. What happens to thehydrogen atom when illuminated by each wavelength?
486.3 nm?
491.3 nm?
335.1 nm?
For each wavelength pick from the following choices:
\"stays in n=2 state\" , \"jumps to n=3 state\", \"jumps to n=4state\", \"jumps to n=5 state\", \"jumps to n=6 state\", \"isionized\"
Note: For a transition between bound states (finite n) you needto match the correct wavelength to about 8 significant figures. Forthis problem, treat a transition as happening if the wavelength iswithin 1.0 nm.
