True or false? In a hydrogen atom, an electron that passes from orbital 3s to 2p releases a photon of a different energy from an electron that passes from orbital 3d to 2s. Justify your answer in 1 sentence or 2.
The Rydberg equation expresses the wavelength, 1, of emitted light based on the initial and final energy states (ni and nf ) of an electron in a hydrogen atom: = Ry x (-) %3D N; 2 where RH 1.097 x 107 m¬ = 1.097 × 10-2 nm-1. %3D You may also see this equation written as = - Ru x (-) ni 2 nf Since (푸-주)- - (무-수) | 2 nf ni 2 ni nf the two formulas are equivalent and sometimes used interchangeably. It can help to remember that when light is emitted, E is negative. When light is absorbed, E is positive.
