Chapter 28, Problem 14P

(a)

To determine

The energy diagram of the atom in which some of the energy states, in units of electron volts, are $-31.50$, $-12.10$, $-5.20$, and $-3.60$ for $E_1$, $E_2$, $E_3$, and $E_4$ respectively.

(b)

To determine

The energy and wavelength of the least energetic photon that can be absorbed by the atom when initially in their ground state, if some of the energy states of the atom are $-31.50$, $-12.10$, $-5.20$, and $-3.60$ for $E_1$, $E_2$, $E_3$, and $E_4$ respectively.
