Chapter 5, Problem 28QRT

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given transition $\text{n=1}\text{to}\text{n}\text{=}\text{3}$, the energy absorbed or emitted has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

• The size of n indicates the relative energy of the state.
• If the final state has a larger n value than the initial state, then energy must be absorbed.
• If the final state has a smaller n value than the initial state, then energy must be emitted.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given transition $\text{n=5}\text{to}\text{n}\text{=}1$, the energy absorbed or emitted has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part a.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given transition $\text{n=2}\text{to}\text{n}\text{=}4$, the energy absorbed or emitted has to be given.

Concept Introduction:
