A photoelectron is emitted from K shell (n = 1) of a carbon atom, and an election in L shell (n = 2) moves down to the vacancy in K shell. What is the wavelength, in the unit of nm, of the photon emitted during this transition? Use  for the energy difference between two states in an atom. E0 = 13.6 eV and atomic number of carbon is Z = 12. Use σ = 1 for the transition to K shell and σ = 7.4 for the transition to L shell
A hypothetical atom has only two atomic energy levels, separated by 3.2 eV. Suppose that at a certain altitude in the atmosphere of a star there are 6.1 * 1013/cm3 of these atoms in the higher-energy state and 2.5 * 1015/cm3 in the lower-energy state. What is the temperature of the star’s atmosphere at that altitude?
A hydrogen atom in the ground state absorbs a 12.75 eV photon. Immediately after the absorption, the atom undergoes a quantum jump to the next-lowest energy level. What is the wavelength of the photon emitted in this quantum jump?
