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.
A mercury atom emits light at many wavelengths, two of which are at (1) 404.7 nm and (2) 435.8 nm. Both of these transitions are to the same final state. Determine the energy of each emitted wavelength (in J).

- 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.

In this model, the harmonic oscillators represent the motions of the metal atoms relative to one another. The frequency of these oscillators is low so that ħw = = 224 KB and the system vibrational partition function is given by 3N Z ² = la₁ - (1 1 e-0/T).

These lines had wavelengths of 410 nm, 434 nm, 486 nm, and 656 nm, where 1 nm = 10-⁹ m. This series of lines is part of what became known as the Balmer series, after Johann Balmer demonstrated that their wavelengths A could be described by the equation 1 2 = 1.1 x 107 Although this equation worked, it was some time before scientists understood why it worked. In the early 1900s, Niels Bohr proposed that the electron in a hydrogen atom could exist only in certain quantized energy states. These states were given by the equation E = -13.6/n² eV. He further proposed that when an electron moved from a higher energy state to a lower one, the excess energy was released as a packet, or quantum, of light known as a photon. The corresponding wavelength of a photon could then be found with the equation λ = hc/E, where E is the energy of the photon, h = 4.1 x 10-15 eV's is Planck's constant, and…arrow_forward
