Consider the electronic transition from n = 7 to n = 4 in the hydrogen atom. is light absorbed or emitted? calculate the energy, the frequency and wavelength (nm) of the photon involved.

Respuesta :

The answer is light is emitted as eletronic  transition ours from higher energy state to lower energy state.

Energy is 9.16×10^−20J  frequeny is 1.38×10^14 s^−1 wavelength is 486nm

The Bohr Model for the energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom gives us:

E=−13.6/n^2 eV

Where n is the principle quantum number.

For the transition

7→4 the difference in energy is given by:

ΔE=−13.6/7^2−[−13.6/4^2]eV

ΔE=(13.6/16)−(13.6/49)eV

ΔE=0.85−0.277=0.572eV

To convert this to Joules we multiply by the electronic charge:

ΔE=0.572×1.6×10^−19=9.16×10^−20J

To find the frequency of the emitted photon we use the Planck expression:

ΔE=hν

∴ν=ΔEh=9.16×10^−20 /(6.626×10^−34) s^−1

ν=1.38×10^14 s^−1

For wavelength c  =fλ.

λ=(3*10^8m/s)/(1.38×10^14 s^−1)

=486nm.
