because when an object approaches the speed of light, it's mass starts to increase exponentially, and would be infinite at the speed of light. It would therefore require MORE than an infinite amount of energy to accelerate even a single electron to the speed of light

A hydrogen atom that has an electron in the n = 2 state absorbs a photon. What wavelength must the photon possess to send the el

Deffense [45]

Answer:

486nm

Explanation:

in order for an electron to transit from one level to another, the wavelength emitted is given by Rydberg Equation which states that

$\frac{1}{wavelength}=R.[\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2} } -\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2} }] \\n_{f}=2\\n_{i}=4\\R=Rydberg constant =1.097*10^{7}m^{-1}\\subtitiute \\\frac{1}{wavelength}=1.097*10^{7}[\frac{1}{2^{2} } -\frac{1}{4^{2}}]\\\frac{1}{wavelength}= 1.097*10^{7}*0.1875\\\frac{1}{wavelength}= 2.06*10^{6}\\wavelength=4.86*10{-7}m\\wavelength= 486nm\\$

Hence the photon must possess a wavelength of 486nm in order to send the electron to the n=4 state
