Question

g In this equation stands for the Rydberg energy, and stands for the principal quantum number of the orbital that holds the electron. (You can find the value of the Rydberg energy using the Data button on the ALEKS toolbar.) Calculate the wavelength of the line in the emission line spectrum of hydrogen caused by the transition of the electron from an orbital with to an orbital with . Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer:

2.75 * 10^-5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy of the absorbed photon = ΔE

ΔE = - Ry (1/n^2 final - 1/n^2initial)

Given that Ry = 2.18 *10^-18 J

nfinal = 9

ninitial =8

ΔE = - 2.18 *10^-18 (1/9^2- 1/8^2)

ΔE = - 2.18 *10^-18 (0.0123 - 0.0156)

ΔE = 7.194 * 10^-21 J

But

ΔE =hc/λ

h = 6.6 *10^-34Js

c= 3 * 10^8 ms-1

λ= the unknown

λ= hc/ΔE

λ= 6.6 *10^-34 * 3 * 10^8/ 7.194 * 10^-21

λ= 2.75 * 10^-5 m
