3. Refer to the illustration on the right. In a set of
experiments on a hypothetical one-electron atom,
you measure the wavelengths of the photons
emitted from transitions ending in the ground state
(n=1). You also observe that it takes 15 eV to
ionize this atom. (a) What is the energy of the
atom in each of the levels (i.e. n=1, n=2, n=3, n=4,
n=5)? (b) If an electron made a transition from the
n=4 to the n=2 level, what wavelength of light
n = 3
n = 2
would it emit?
n = 1

A = 75.63 nm

Could you please solve part 3 of this question:
Now consider the electron in a material with a gap of 5 eV. Because of the gap, in order to increase the electron's momentum, the electric field must increase the electron's energy by 5 eV, which is impossible without applying ultraviolet light. In this case, what is the electron's velocity after 10-5 s in the electric field?

For the purpose of this exercise, we consider the Earth as a blackbody at a temperature of 300K.
a. Assuming that it is spherical with a radius equals to 6370 km, calculate the total amount energy emitted by the Earth (Hint: The total amount of energy emitted by a surface = amount of energy emitted per unit area x area of the surface).

Fig 11.38: Four possible electron transitions within a hydrogen atom Electron transition D represents the smallest change in energy of the electron. A photon of lowest energy will be emitted. This corresponds to the red line in the line emission spectrum for hydrogen in Figure 11.35a). Remember these are just four possible electron transitions which emit photons of light that fall in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Bear in mind that there are many other possible electron transitions that produce light which fall in the infrared and ultra- violet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This light is not visible to the human eye. Energy of the emitted photons When an excited electron falls to a lower energy level it emits a photon.
