Question

Calculate the energy change associated with the transition from n=4 to n=1 in the

hydrogen atom.

A) + 3. 55 10-18 J Absorption

B) +2. 04 x 10-18) Emmision

C)-3. 55 x 10-18) Absorption

D) -2. 04 x 10-18] Emmision

Answer 1

Answer: D) -2.04 x $10^{-18}$ , Emission

Explanation:

Use Bohr's equation for energy produced from a change in orbital levels.$-2.178*10^{-18} (\frac{1^{2}}{n_{final}^{2} } - \frac{1^{2} }{n_{initial} ^{2} } )$$=E$

Substitute and you will get your answer!

Answer 2

D) -2.04 x 10^-18 Emission
Is the correct answer.
