Question

1. Consider an electron in the n=2 energy level of a hydrogen atom.

a. What wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is absorbed or emitted during the transition from n=2 to n=1? (in meters)

(Energy involved in transition of electron from n=2 to n=1 is -1.63e-18 J)

b. Classify the type of electromagnetic radiation you determined in part a.

(This is multiple choice so choose between radiowave, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X ray, gamma ray)
