A hydrogen atom emits a photon when its electron falls from its 3rd excited state (?=4) to its first excited state (?=2). Another electron in a box with sides of infinite potential absorbs the photon and jumps from the ground state (?=1) to the 5th excited state (?=6). a.

a. A relatively rare transition of the hydrogen atom emits a radio photon with with ? = 21 cm. This emission line is extremely important to astronomers for two main reasons: it cuts through most gas and dust without being absorbed and, although transition is rare, there is so much hydrogen in space that the 21 cm photons are themselves quite common. Suppose that one such photon from a distant galaxy is measured to have a wavelength of just 11...
