Figure I below shows the lowest four energy levels of an electron in an isolated atom.
Figure II below shows the lines in the emission spectrum of the atom that correspond to the transitions of the electron from to
and from
to
.
Explain, with reference to photons, why there is a single frequency of electromagnetic radiation that corresponds to each of these transitions.
On Figure II, draw a line that corresponds to the transition of the electron from to
. Label this line A.
On Figure II, draw a line that corresponds to the transition of the electron from to
. Label this line B.
The frequency of radiation represented by line A is . The frequency of radiation represented by line B is
. The energy of the ground state (
) is
. Determine an expression, in terms of
,
,
and the Planck constant
, for the energy
of the energy level
.
