A hydrogen electron, initially in its second excited state (n=3), jumps down to the ground state n=1. The energy of n=1 state is -13.6 eV.

A) What is the energy of the photon emitted from this jumping down process? ( I got 12.08889eV)

B) Is this emitted photon energetic enough to create photoelectrons from Ni( Ni working function is 5 eV)?

C) If this emitted photon (from the jump down from n=3 to n=1) is reabsorbed by a hydrogen electron occupying the energy level n=4, cann this n=4 electron be excited to become a free electron? If yes, what is its kinetic energy once it becomes free?

An electron in a hydrogen atom is excited from the n = 1 ground state to the n = 4 excited state

An electron in a hydrogen atom is excited from the n = 1 ground state to the n = 4 excited state. Classify the statements about this absorption and emission process as true or false. True On average, the electron is closer to the nucleus in the n = 4 state than in the n = 1 state. The wavelength of light absorbed when the electron is excited from the ground state to n = 4 is the same as the wavelength of...

Consider a de-excitation of Hydrogen from an excited state n = 3 to the ground state n = 1. The transition to a lower energy state will cause the atom to emit a photon. Due to momentum conservation, the atom will have a small recoil velocity. Determine an expression of the recoil velocity of the hydrogen atom, and compute its numerical value. Do not leave ΔE or the photon frequency f in your answer! Note that the atom is non-relativistic.
