Energy Levels in Atoms and Line Spectra
 

Energy Levels in Atoms and Line Spectra problem 8


Four electron energy levels in an isolated atom are shown in the figure below.




For the emission spectrum associated with these energy levels,


  • on the figure above, mark with an arrow the transition that gives rise to the shortest wavelength,


  • show that the wavelength of the transition in (a) is .
