Considering the Bohr’s model, given that an electron is initially located at the ground state (n=1n=1) and it absorbs energy to jump to a particular energy level (n=nxn=nx). If the difference of the radius between the new energy level and the ground state is rnx−r1=5.247×10−9rnx−r1=5.247×10−9, determine nxnx and calculate how much energy is absorbed by the electron to jump to n=nxn=nx from n=1n=1.
