Problem 24P
IP An electron in hydrogen absorbs a photon and jump to a higher orbit, (a) Find the energy the photon must have in the initial state is n = 3 and the final state is n = 5. (b) If the initial state was n = 5 and the final state n = 7, would the energy of the photon be greater than, less than, or the same as that found in part (a)? Explain, (c) Calculate the photon energy for part (b).

ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
Here we have to calculate the energies in particular states and the energy of the photons.
The equation for the energy of the hydrogen atom.
