Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The wavelength of the light emitted when an electron makes each of the given transitions is to be calculated. The region of the
Concept introduction: if an atom absorbs energy then this atom gets excited from the lower energy orbital to the higher energy orbital. This state of an atom is termed as excited state. The energy absorbed by an atom is calculated by the Planck’s equation. This equation is,
The value of Planck’s constant
To determine: The wavelength of the light emitted when an electron makes each of the given transitions and the region of the electromagnetic spectrum of each transition.
