![**Photon Emission in Hydrogen Atom Transition**
Calculate the energy of a photon emitted when an electron in a hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from \( n = 6 \) to \( n = 1 \).
**Energy Emitted:**
[Text Box for Input] \( \text{J} \)
---
This process involves using the Rydberg formula to calculate the photon energy released during the electron transition. The energy associated with the transition can be calculated using the formula:
\[ E = -R_H \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) \]
Where:
- \( E \) is the energy of the photon emitted,
- \( R_H \) is the Rydberg constant (\(2.18 \times 10^{-18}\) J),
- \( n_1 \) and \( n_2 \) are the principal quantum numbers of the initial and final states. Here, \( n_1 = 1 \) and \( n_2 = 6 \).
When an electron falls to a lower energy level, it releases energy in the form of a photon, which can be quantified using this formula.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fcf75519a-4b73-4600-b1a2-6168f4806ba2%2F66b50f65-a2bf-4f05-bb8c-aa1ae0c39478%2Fo7sdmu_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
