An electron in a hydrogen atom relaxes from energy level n = 4 to n = 3. What is the wavelength of light emitted in nanometers?
-
1/lambda = 1.097 E7/m (1/9-1/16)
= .0533 E7/m = 5.33 E5/m
lambda = 1.88 e-6 m * 1nm/e-9 m = 1.88 e3 nm = 1880 nm (IR)
= .0533 E7/m = 5.33 E5/m
lambda = 1.88 e-6 m * 1nm/e-9 m = 1.88 e3 nm = 1880 nm (IR)
