Expert Solution
Concept and Principle:
  • As per Bohr's model of atoms, electrons can move between states by absorbing or emitting radiation.

 

  • When the electron moves to a higher state it will do so by absorbing energy in the form of a photon and when they are moving down to a lower level it will emit a photon.

 

  • The wavelength of the photon is given by the Rydberg formula,

λ=1R(n12n22n12n22)

Here R is the Rydberg constant and has a value of 1.097373 × 107 m-1, and n1 and n2 are the states in which transition takes place.
