What is the energy in eV and wavelength in µm of a photon that, when absorbed by a hydrogen atom, could cause a transition from the n = 4 to the n = 6 energy level? (a) energy in eV?   (b) wavelength in µm?
Write an expression relating the kinetic energy KE of the electron and the potential energy PE in the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom. (a) Suppose a hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of energy E, resulting in the transfer of the electron to a higher - energy level. Express the resulting change in the potential energy of the system in terms of E. (b) What is the change in the electron’s kinetic energy during this process?
Determine the distance between the electron and proton in an atom if the potential energy UU of the electron is 15.2 eV (electronvolt, 1 eV =1.6×10−19 J). Give your answer in Angstrom (1 A = 10-10 m).
