Answer:
Energy lost is 7.63×10⁻²⁰J
Explanation:
Hello,
I think what the question is requesting is to calculate the energy difference when an excited electron drops from N = 15 to N = 5
E = hc/λ(1/n₂² - 1/n₁²)
n₁ = 15
n₂ = 5
hc/λ = 2.18×10⁻¹⁸J (according to the data)
E = 2.18×10⁻¹⁸ (1/n₂² - 1/n₁²)
E = 2.18×10⁻¹⁸ (1/15² - 1/5²)
E = 2.18×10⁻¹⁸ ×(-0.035)
E = -7.63×10⁻²⁰J
The energy lost is 7.63×10⁻²⁰J
Note : energy is lost / given off when the excited electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level
