2. An electron in a hydrogen atom is excited from the ground state to the n= 4 state. Comment on the correctness of the following statements (true or false and why?). (a) n= 4 is the first excited state. (b) It takes more energy to ionize (remove) the electron from n = 4 than from the ground state. (c) The electron is farther from the nucleus (on average) in n= 4 than in the ground state. (d) The wavelength of light emitted when the electron drops from n = 4 to n = 1 is longer than that from n = 4 to n = 2. (e) The wavelength the atom absorbs in going from n= 1 to n=4 is the same as that emitted as it goes from n = 4 to n = 1.

The energy of a vibrating molecule is quantized much like the energy of an electron in the hydrogen atom. The energy levels of a vibrating molecule are given by the equation En = (n +1/2)hv where n is a quantum number with possible values of 1, 2,..., and n is the frequency of vibration. The vibration frequency of HCl is approximately 8.85x10^13 s^-1. What minimum energy is required to excite a vibration in HCl? What wavelength of light is required to excite this vibration?
