a) Calculate the excitation energies for the 1s → 3p electron transition for the H-atom and for the He+-ion. Calculate the energy values in joules. b) What is the ionization energy (in eV) of H-atom in the 4d-state? Note: En = 2n² Eh, 1Eh = 27.2114eV = 2625.500kJ/mol = 4.35974394-10-18 J
The two nuclei in the carbon monoxide (CO) molecules are 0.1128 nm apart. The mass of the carbon atom is 1.993x10-26 kg. The mass of the oxygen atom is 2.656x10-26 kg.   What is the first excited rotational energy level for the CO molecule? (Give the your answer in meV.)
The bandgaps of silicon and gallium arsenide are 1.12 eV and 1.42 eV, respectively. What are the wavelengths of light that you would expect to be emitted from these devices based on direct recombination of holes and electrons? To what “colors” of light do these wavelengths correspond?
