Question #206740

A particular atom emits a photon of wavelength 471 nm when one of its electrons undergoes a transition from one stable energy level to another. If the final energy level has an energy of -6.04 eV, what is the energy of the inital energy level?

Gives

Wavelength (λ)\lambda) =471nm

Ef=-6.04ev

Ei=?

We know that

EfEi=hυE_f-E_i=h\upsilon

EfEi=hcλE_f-E_i=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Ei=EfhcλE_i=E_f-\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Put value


Ei=6.04eV6.625×1034×3×108471×109×1.6×1019E_i=-6.04eV-\frac{6.625\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^8}{471\times10^{-9}\times1.6\times10^{-19}}

Ei=6.042.64=8.67eVE_i=-6.04-2.64=-8.67eV
