Chapter 6, Problem 122AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The transitions of absorption and emissions are to be identified, and the emission in increasing order ofenergy and wavelength of light emittedin hydrogen atom are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

When an electron jumps from one energy state to another energy state, it is termed as the transition of anelectron. Energy is either lost or absorbed during the transition of an electron. The transition energy $\left(\Delta E\right)$ is determined as follows:

$\Delta E=-2.18\times {10}^{-18}\text{ J}\left(\frac{1}{n_f^2}-\frac{1}{n_i^2}\right)$

Here, $n_f^{}$ is the excited state and $n_i^{}$ is the ground state.
