One of the electron transitions in a hydrogen atom produces infrared light with a wavelength of
8.231 x 10°m. What amount of energy causes this transition?

Sagot :

A transition occurs when an electron absorbs energy and moves from one energy level to another.

Let us recall the formula;

E = hc/λ

h= planks constant = 6.6 * 10^-34 Js

c = speed of light = 3 * 10^8 ms-1

λ = wavelength =

We can see from the question that the exponent in the value for the wavelength was not properly rendered hence we can not be able to substitute values and obtain a numerical answer for the energy of the infrared radiation.

However, if all the values are properly substituted, then the energy of the infrared radiation can conveniently be obtained.
