Consider a transition of the electron in the hydrogen atom from n=3 to n=7.

a) Determine the wavelength of light that is associated with this transition. (In meters)

b) Will the light be absorbed or emitted?

For a: The wavelength of light is

For b: The light is getting absorbed

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

Where,

= Wavelength of radiation

= Rydberg's Constant  =

= Higher energy level = 7

= Lower energy level = 3

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the wavelength of light is

There are two ways in which electrons can transition between energy levels:

As, the electron jumps from lower energy level to higher energy level. The wavelength is getting absorbed.

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
