Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

In this problem we can use Bohr's atomic model, to deal with the electronic transition, so we can have transitions between two given states.

           ΔE = $E_{f}$ -E₀

Lower state     final state                     energy

Fundamental      first excited state          ΔE₁ = -2.4 - (-4.7)  = 2.3 eV

Fundamental      second excited state   ΔE₂ = -1.0 - (-4.7) = 3.7 eV

Fundamental      third excited state        ΔE₃ = -0.3 - (-4.7) = 4.4 eV

As they indicate that there are no electrons in the excited states these are the only possible transitions.

When a wide range of light strikes, the frequencies of these energies are absorbed and observed as black bands (absence of radiation) in the spectrum.
