The shorter the wavelength of a photon, the greater its energy. We can see photons with wavelengths between 700 nanometers (red)
and 400 nanometers (violet), which correspond to energies of 1.8 to 3.1 electron volts (eV). Which photon energies make up the spectrum of hydrogen?
1 answer:
Answer: from 0.66 eV to 13 eV
Explanation: In order to justify this range of energy corresponding to the spectrum of hydrogen we firrsly have to consider the model given by Planck to describe this kind of atoms. On the hand the spectral series resume the main atomic transtitions corresponding for the hydrogen.
The attached file gives more details about these considerations.
