Part E When the outermost electron in a potassium atom makes a transition from a 4p level to a 4s level, the wavelength of the photon it emits can be either 766.490 nm or 769.896 nm depending on the initial spin orientation of the electron. Find the energy difference between the two 4p levels. Express your answer in electron volts. —| ΑΣΦ Bw1 2
