(a) The diagram shows the lowest four energy levels of a hydrogen atom. -0.85 Energy / eV -1.5 -3.4 -13.6 Excited hydrogen atoms can emit light of wavelength 6.56 x 10-7 m. i. Calculate the frequency of this light and hence the energy, in Joules, of a photon of this wavelength. ii. An electron made a transition between which levels for this photon to be emitted? (b) Calculate the wavelength of the photon emitted with the greatest energy. (c) Explain the difference in meaning between an ionised atom and an excited atom.
