What is the energy per photon absorbed during the transition from n = 2 to n = 3 in the hydrogen atom?

adelina 88 [10]

Answer : The energy of one photon of hydrogen atom is, $3.03\times 10^{-19}J$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the wavelength of hydrogen atom.

Using Rydberg's Equation:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )$

Where,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of radiation

$R_H$ = Rydberg's Constant = 10973731.6 m⁻¹

$n_f$ = Higher energy level = 3

$n_i$ = Lower energy level = 2

Putting the values, in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=(10973731.6)\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )$

$\lambda=6.56\times 10^{-7}m$

Now we have to calculate the energy.

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength = $6.56\times 10^{-7}m$

Putting the values, in this formula, we get:

$E=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{6.56\times 10^{-7}m}$

$E=3.03\times 10^{-19}J$

Therefore, the energy of one photon of hydrogen atom is, $3.03\times 10^{-19}J$

What are the units of acceleration?

Marina86 [1]

Acceleration is any change in speed or direction of motion.

The dimension of speed is [length/time],
so a change is [length/time²].

Popular units include [meter/second²] and [feet/second²] .
________________________

Direction almost always boils down to an angle, (which technically
has no dimensions), so a change in direction is [angle/time] .

Popular units include [radian/second] and [degree/second] .

How many calendar days pass between the new moon and full moon?

german

The complete cycle of phases lasts 29.531 days.

From New Moon to Full Moon is half of that . . . 14.765 days,
which is very close to 2 weeks.
