Can the photon can be absorbed by hydrogen atom present in the Sun and what energy states will the hydrogen atom transition occurs.
Answer to Problem 56P
Solution:
• Yes, photon can be absorbed by hydrogen atom present in the Sun.
• The hydrogen atom will jump from .
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The helium atom makes a transition from the state.
Formula Used:
Calculation:
When the helium atom is singly ionized, it will appear like having an atom with 1 electron and 2 proton (Z = 2), now the value of can be calculated as by using the formula
So,
Energy of the photon in the transition can be calculated as
The energy is the energy difference for in hydrogen so the photon can be absorbed by a hydrogen atom.
The energy states between , the hydrogen atom transition occur.
