Question

A hydrogen atom in an n=2 state absorbs a photon.

Part a: What wavelength photons might be emitted by the atom following absorption?
You should find 10 total possible wavelengths, with the shortest being around 100 nm and the largest
being around 1900nm.

What would the equation be in order to find these wavelengths?

Explain why different elements produce different spectral absorption and emission lines. Calculate the wavelength of a photon that has an energy of 4.96 eV. (Hint: h*c {Planck's constant * the speed of light }= 1240 eV*nm;) What type of radiation/light (from the electromagnetic spectrum) is the photon from the previous question? Why is it that radio telescopes need to be so large or organized in arrays? this is all one question with different parts. Thank you.
·Shown here is the visible part of the spectrum of some gas. There are 11 lines. There could be 6. more, they just aren't in the wavelength range of the spectrum. The wavelength increases toward the right. :.. de f gh k (a) Which line or lines correspond(s) to the two closest spaced energy levels? Explain. (b) Which line or lines correspond(s) to the two farthest spaced energy levels? Explain. (c) What is the minimum number of energy levels in an atom of the gas that could produce the lines in this spectrum? Explain.
Please help me with a,b,c questions please, well explained and detailed.
The Balmer series, or Balmer lines in atomic physics, is one of a set of six named series describing the spectral line emissions of the hydrogen atom. The Balmer series is due to transitions of electrons to the energy level with n=2. Using the ideas and treatment seen in class, find the three largest wavelengths corresponding to lines of the Balmer series. Express your results in nm.
