Question

Consider the electronic transition from n = 2 to n = 6 in a hydrogen atom, and select the correct statement below. A. A photon of 273 nm wavelength and 7.27x10-19 J energy was absorbed by the hydrogen atom during this electronic transition. B. A photon of 410 nm wavelength and 4.85x10-19 J energy was emitted from the hydrogen atom during this electronic transition. C. A photon of 410 nm wavelength and 4.85x10-19 J energy was absorbed by the hydrogen atom during this electronic transition. D. A photon of 273 nm wavelength and 7.27x10-19 J energy was emitted from the hydrogen atom during this electronic transition.

Explanation / Answer

C. A photon of 410 nm wavelength and 4.85x10-19 J energy was absorbed by the hydrogen atom during this electronic transition.
