Question

when an electron of a hydrogen atom travels from n=4 to n=2, a photon of energy 4.165•10^-19 joules is released. Calculate the wavelength associated with this radiation.

Answer 1

Energy of photon, E = hν

Frequency of photon,

Thus, energy of photon,

Therefore, 4.165 × 10-19 joules =

λ = 4.77 × 10-7 meters

The frequency of a photon having energy of 4.165 × 10-34 joules is 4.77 × 10-7 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:
