Question
The energies, E, for the first few states of an unknown element are shown here in arbitrary units. A gaseous sample of this element is bombarded by photons of various energies (in these same units). Match each photon to the result of its absorption (or lack thereof) by an n= 1 electron. a photon's energy corresponds to the difference in energy between n= 1 another another state, the atom may absorb that photon and an n=1 electron can transition to the higher energy state. What is the difference in energy between the following pairs of states? n=1 and n=2 n=1 and n= 3 n=1 and n=4 n=1 and n= infinity
Explanation / Answer
A. electrons ejected
B: n=1 to n=3
C: not absobed
D: n=1 to n=2
