- Example: An electron in a hydrogen atom drops from energy level E4 to energy level E2. What is the frequency of the emitted photon, and which line in the emission spectrum corresponds to this event? E6 E = -0.378 eV Step 1: Es E = -0.544 eV - E= -0.850 eV Find the energy of the photon. E E = Einitial - Efinal E3 E=-1.51 eV = (-0.850 eV) - (-3.40 eV) = 2.55 eV Step 2: Use Plank's equation for frequency. E₂ E= -3.40 eV 12 E E = hf; f = h (2.55 eV) (1.60 x 10-191 6.63 x 10-34 Js f= 6.15 x 10¹4 Hz Line 3 is in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum and appears to be blue. The frequency f = 6.15 x 10¹4 Hz lies within the range of the visible spectrum and is toward the violet end, so it is reasonable that light of this frequency would be visible blue light.
