Question

Based on your energy level calculations, predict the photon energies that would be emitted by transitions between the hydrogen energy levels.

Answer 1

The formula defining the photon energies that would be emitted by transitions between the hydrogen energy levels are given by the equation:

ΔE = -13.6Z²[1/n₁² - 1/n₂²]eV, where (1 eV = 1.602×10-19 Joules) and n₁ = initial energy level and n₂ = final energy level.

Z = Atomic number of the atom
