Chapter 8, Problem 8.12P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The energy difference between transitions of given wavelength has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The mathematical equation of various characteristics of light wave is

  $\text{c = νλ}$

C is the speed of light ($\text{3}{\text{.00 × 10}}^{\text{8}}\text{ m/s}$).

$\text{ν}$ is the frequency

$\text{λ}$ is wavelength.

  $\text{E}\text{=}\text{hν}$

h is Planck’s constant ($\text{6}\text{.63}\text{×}{\text{10}}^{\text{-34}}\text{J}\text{.s}$) which relates energy and frequency.

$\text{ν}$ is the frequency.

E is the energy of light particle
