In the energy level diagram shown below, the energy difference between States 3 and 4 is half the energy difference between states 2 and 3. An electron undergoes a transition (a quantum \"leap\") from State 4 to State 3 resulting in the emission of a photon having a wavelength of 660 nm. (Note: 1 nm = 10-9 m.)
What is the frequency the emitted photon resulting from an electron making a transition from State 4 to State 3.
f4 to 3 =
What is the frequency the emitted photon resulting from an electron making a transition from State 3 to State 2.
f3 to 2 =
What is the wavelength of the photon that is emitted when an electron makes a transition from State 3 to State 2?
λ3 to 2 =
What are the frequency and wavelength of a photon that is emitted when an electron makes a transition from State 4 to State 2?
f4 to 2 =
λ4 to 2 =
The energy difference between States 1 and 2 is five times the energy difference between States 3 and 4. What are the frequency and wavelength of a photon that is emitted when an electron makes a transition from State 4 to State 1?
f4 to 1 =
λ4 to 1 =
Summary: I applied the formula for energy in terms of frequency and wavelength to get the values of frequencyand wavelengths.
