Chapter 5.3, Problem 5.3PSP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The two electron transitions in a hydrogen atom having greater energy than any of energy of those in problem-solving exercise $\text{5}\text{.3}$ have to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

According to Bohr, electrons circle the nucleus only in orbits of certain radii.  Each radius corresponds to a specific energy of the atom called energy level.  Any atom with its electron arranged to give lowest total energy is called ground state.  Any state that has higher energy than lowest energy is called excited state.
