Question
A ground state hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of light having a wavelength of 92.27 nm. It then gives off a photon having a wavelength of 922.7 nm. What is the final state of the hydrogen atom? Values for physical constants can be found in the Chempendix.
Expert Solution

Step 1
hc=1240ev/nm
energy absorbed= (hc/92.27)- (hc/920)=1240[(1/92.27)-(1/920)]= 12.0909948 ev
so transition=13.6[(1)-(1/n2)]
13.6[(1)-(1/n2)]=12.0909948
