In 1913 Neils Bohr proposed a model for the hydrogen, now known as the Bohr atom, that explained the emission spectrum of the hydrogen atom as well as one-electron ions like Het. The model permits the electron to orbit the nucleus by a set of discrete orbits where each orbit is associated with an integer value n, known as the principal quantum number. Depending upon the orbital occupied by the electron, the energy of the hydrogen atom (or one-electron ions) can only assume the following discrete values 1terd 30 tF aconstant En n2 prineiple 2 S1 where RH 2.18x10-18 J is the Rydberg constant and Z is the number of protons in the nucleus.(a) List the energies of the hydrogen atom for the first three orbits (n-1, 2, and 3).*(b) Compute the energy absorbed by the hydrogen atom when the electron is excited from the lowest orbit (n 1) to the third lowest orbit (n 3).
