The energy levels of the Bohr model for the atom can be expressed mathematically as En
-13.6 eV, where Z is the atomic number, and n is the quantum number. This model is reasonably accurate for hydrogen and for singly ionized helium.
The photon associated with the transition of an electron from the ground state to the first excited state in singly ionized helium has a different wavelength than that associated with a similar transition in hydrogen. Which of the following correctly describes the wavelengths of these two photons in terms of the energy level diagrams for hydrogen and helium?
The photon absorbed by hydrogen has a longer wavelength than that absorbed by helium, because the energy levels in the diagram for hydrogen are more closely spaced than in the diagram for helium.
B
The photon absorbed by hydrogen has a shorter wavelength than that absorbed by helium, because the energy levels in the diagram for hydrogen are more closely spaced than in the diagram for helium.

You are doing a senior thesis project that involves research into astronomical observations. In interstellar space, highly excited hydrogen atoms called Rydberg atoms have been observed, and can be useful in analyzing astronomical environments. In these atoms, the quantum number n is very high. In preparation for an upcoming publication, your supervisor asks you to determine the quantum number of a Rydberg atom for which the classical and quantum predictions of the wavelength of a Δn = 1 transition are within 0.500% of each other.

The photon then strikes an osmium surface, which has a work function O = 5.93 eV and causes an electron to be emitted. Many such photons create a beam of electrons (all with the same kinetic energy) that is directed at a single crystal nickel sample at normal incidence. The electrons are scattered from the crystal and it is observed that they do so with only two (2) non-zero diffraction angles (i.e., 2 different values of 0). From the DeBroglie-Bragg relation it is determined that the diffraction corresponds to a lattice spacing of a = 352.4 pm.arrow_forward
