A hydrogen atom
(Z = 1)
is in the fourth excited state, and a photon is either emitted
or absorbed.
Concepts:
(i) What is the quantum number of the fourth excited state?
12 345
(ii) When an atom emits a photon, is the final quantum number
nf
of the atom greater than or less than the initial quantum
number ni?
greater thanless than
(iii) When an atom absorbs a photon, is the final quantum
number
nf
of the atom greater than...
