Question
Chapter 15, Problem 15.60E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An explanation corresponding to the fact that it is impossible to emit blue light from a transition that absorbs red light initially is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
When the transition of an electron occurs from a higher level of energy to a lower level, a single photon is emitted for each dropping electron.
The energy of a photon of light is calculated by the formula shown below.
The energy of a photon of light is directly proportional to its wavelength.

(6 pts - 2 pts each part) Although we focused our discussion on hydrogen light emission, all
elements have distinctive emission spectra. Sodium (Na) is famous for its spectrum being
dominated by two yellow emission lines at 589.0 and 589.6 nm, respectively. These lines result
from electrons relaxing to the 3s subshell.
a. What is the photon energy (in J) for one of these emission lines? Show your work.
b. To what electronic transition in hydrogen is this photon energy closest to? Justify your
answer-you shouldn't need to do numerical calculations.
c. Consider the 3s subshell energy for Na - use 0 eV as the reference point for n=∞. What
is the energy of the subshell that the electron relaxes from? Choose the same emission
line that you did for part (a) and show your work.
