A) What is the approximate wavelength emitted from helium represented by the bright yellow emission line below?  What is it's frequency in HZ and energy in eV? (1 eV= 1.6 x 10-19 joules).  B) If the excited helium electron that emits a yellow photon in this line starts with a potential energy of 8 eV, what is the potential energy of the electron afterwards? Assume that the emission of a yellow photon is allowed by the laws of quantum mechanics. Also don't worry about the other electron.
